Positive Aging
Positive Aging: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals and Consumers by: Robert D. Hill, Ph.D.
Human aging has been transformed in the 21st century. Retirement, senility, disability, and death were all notions previously associated with growing old. Today, with the average life span of men and women in the United States exceeding 76 years, the words successful, optional, and positive dominate the lexicon of scientists and, increasingly, the general public. We not only plan to live longer, but expect to enjoy a superior standard of physical and emotional health. With these changing attitudes comes the need for new ideas of what it means to grow old. Positive Aging: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals and Consumers covers these particular topics and more.
