Preservation of the Self in the Oldest Years: With Implications for Practice (Springer series on life styles & issues in aging) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Tobin (social welfare, State U. of New York-Albany) builds on the thesis of his 1991 Personhood in Advanced Old Age that a continuous sense of identity is strategic to mental health and adaptation in aging, even through the latest years. He provides new clinical studies in such areas as reminiscence to preserve the sense of self, religiosity and selfhood, and the de-selfing effect of Alzheimer's. He also compares care at home and in institutions. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
