Aging and Mental Health (eBook)
John Wiley & Sons (Verlag)
978-1-119-13316-2 (ISBN)
Fully updated and revised, this new edition of a highly successful text provides students, clinicians, and academics with a thorough introduction to aging and mental health.
The third edition of Aging and Mental Health is filled with new updates and features, including the impact of the DSM-5 on diagnosis and treatment of older adults. Like its predecessors, it uses case examples to introduce readers to the field of aging and mental health. It also provides both a synopsis of basic gerontology needed for clinical work with older adults and an analysis of several facets of aging well.
Introductory chapters are followed by a series of chapters that describe the major theoretical models used to understand mental health and mental disorders among older adults. Following entries are devoted to the major forms of mental disorders in later life, with a focus on diagnosis, assessment, and treatment issues. Finally, the book focuses on the settings and contexts of professional mental health practice and on emerging policy issues that affect research and practice. This combination of theory and practice helps readers conceptualize mental health problems in later life and negotiate the complex decisions involved with the assessment and treatment of those problems.
- Features new material on important topics including positive mental health, hoarding disorder, chronic pain, housing, caregiving, and ethical and legal concerns
- Substantially revised and updated throughout, including reference to the DSM-5
- Offers chapter-end recommendations of websites for further information
- Includes discussion questions and critical thinking questions at the end of each chapter
Aging and Mental Health, Third Edition is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, for service providers in psychology, psychiatry, social work, and counseling, and for clinicians who are experienced mental health service providers but who have not had much experience working specifically with older adults and their families.

"Aging and Mental Health is that rare book which is both pleasurable to read and deeply informative. The science of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment is set forth through rich conceptual frameworks of gerontology and psychology, and - new in this edition - critical health service contexts. As a comprehensive and skillfully crafted resource all in one volume, the book is an indispensable gem for students and practitioners alike."
Jennifer Moye, PhD, Associate Director for Education and Evaluation New England GRECC (VA Boston and Bedford) and Professor of Psychology, Harvard Medical School
"The Third Edition of Aging and Mental Health offers far more than an update. It is a thoughtfully and creatively designed textbook poised to serve as a strong introduction to major clinical disorders, dominant models of therapy, service delivery systems, and ethical issues, together rounding out the universe of mental health and mental illness in older adults. Generous and well-selected references for each topic are provided."
Erlene Rosowsky, PsyD, Director of the Center for Mental Health and Aging and Associate Professor of Psychology, William James College
"Kudos to the authors of this updated new edition on Aging & Mental Health. Life span developmental theory, normative biopsychosocial processes, and models of successful aging inform clinical recommendations for mental health professionals who provide services to older adults. This is an excellent volume to read and reference if one desires to employ an evidence-based state-of-the art approach to assess and treat the mental health problems of older adults and to promote integrated care in geriatric settings."
Victor Molinari, PhD, President of the American Board of Geropsychology and Professor, School of Aging Studies, University of South Florida
"I've used Aging and Mental Health as a textbook for my undergraduate class in "Gerontological Counseling" and my graduate class in "Aging and Mental Disorders" for a decade. This book is unique in including reviews of fundamental issues in gerontology (e.g. age-related changes), major theoretical models of mental health, the most common mental disorders of late life, and contextual issues such as policy, housing, and caregiving issues. The text is full of vivid case studies and practical information. The Third Edition includes valuable updates, such as incorporation of the DSM-5 and recent research information. The authors bring years of experience in clinical practice, research, and public policy related to mental health to bear on the topic. This is the perfect text for instructors from diverse fields who want to engage their students in understanding mental health and aging, and help them develop a passion for providing excellent care for older adults and their families.
