Topically organized, Adult Development and Aging: Growth, Longevity and Challenges provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the aging process…
in adulthood from multiple perspectives. In this Second Edition, Julie Hicks Patrick, Bert Hayslip, and Lisa Hollis-Sawyer use principles of lifespan development to show readers the directionality of changes in early, middle, and late adulthood. Within its framework of scientific literacy, the text charts four key themes to guide learners: a focus on aging as development; a global perspective on contexts; a vibrant, integrated approach to diverse coverage; and psychological science that translates into real-life experiences. A final chapter focuses on ways to improve the experience of aging for all adults.

A New Approach to Dementia: Examining Sensory and Perceptual Impairment is a groundbreaking work which highlights the non-memory impairments of…
the dementias to improve both early recognition of dementia and clinical diagnosis, as well as interventions and care. It focuses clinical attention on the significant evidence supporting the existence of many types of sensory and perception-related changes/abnormalities sometimes at the early stages of the disease and throughout its progression.Providing a holistic overview of the field, the book includes self-reports of people with dementia and caregivers, alongside an in-depth discussion of the application of the findings about non-memory impairments to clinical care and management. It leads a movement to address the over-focus on memory function in dementia and ageing, arguing for the need to test sensory and perceptual abnormalities to improve clinical practice and research into, and the care and support of, people living with dementia and associated disorders.With its mix of scientific, and clinical and real-life relevance, this book is essential for clinicians and researchers specialising in ageing and dementia as well as carers working with people living with dementia and students of neuropsychology/neurocognition, medicine and health and social care.

This book investigates how people living with late-stage dementia can engage in communication and social interaction. Based on empirical research,…
it explores the remaining communicative resources of people living with cognitive impairment (e.g., intercorporeal interaction, bodily gestures, gaze), presenting the agency of the person with dementia as an integral part of their relations with others. The book provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for analyzing, describing, and understanding communication in late-stage dementia, and explores the use of video ethnography to record and analyze non-verbal, bodily interaction. The authors skilfully bring together findings from their examinations of everyday interactions involving individuals living with late-stage dementia in nursing facilities, introducing the readers to the innovative theoretical and methodological approaches that undergird the fine-grained analyses at the heart of the book. The rich and nuanced case studies collected encompass embodied directives, habitual actions and objects, physical settings, assisted eating, and much more. An invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers at all levels in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, social work, nursing, gerontology, and related disciplines, this volume makes an unparalleled contribution to current dementia research across the social sciences.

of life. This knowledge of meaningful activities helps to identify and improve strategies for supporting people living in long-term care facilities with various chronic disorders at a deeper level. Although no all-encompassing theory of caregiving has yet been developed, this book explores various theoretical formulations as central aspects of promoting health in long-term care practices. The current culture change in long-term care controls the well-being of the concerned person physically, psychologically, socially, and economically. In later life, these issues profoundly impact individuals' morbidity and lifespan. Further, it has been evidenced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' five-star rating system that provides long-term care facilities&’ quality information to the public does not fully represent what matters to the residents from their perspectives. Resident satisfaction is an integral part of the quality of care; instead of clinical quality measures only, it is influenced by residents, their family members, staff, and administration. Person-centered care not only requires a 'culture change' in how residents and caregivers work together, but it also requires facilities to ensure staff deliver care with the highest possible level of empathy and adopt meaningful care practices. Among the topics covered in this contributed volume: Are Quality of Care and Quality of Life Synonymous in Long-Term Care? Aging-in-Place or Long-Term Care? Changing the Narrative to Promote Aging in Place in Long-Term Care Person-Centered Care and Culture Change Movement in Long-Term Care

grace shines through' - Stacey Dooley, TV presenter and authorWhen a life-threatening acid-attack left Katie Piper physically and visibly scarred at just 24, her approach to ageing was irrevocably changed: she now sees each passing year as a reminder of the privilege of being alive.Over a decade on from sharing her story for the first time, Katie reflects on what it means to age well within a world that has too often made women feel irrelevant or invisible for going through the natural ageing process.From how to know your worth to how to take up space in a society that tells you to be small, this book will help you cultivate a confidence you can depend on and find the real beauty in getting older.Katie Piper OBE is an international bestselling author, inspirational speaker, TV presenter and charity campaigner.

Katie shared her remarkable story in a Channel 4 documentary called &‘Katie: My Beautiful Face&’, which was watched by over 3.5 million viewers and nominated for a BAFTA in 2010.

Mit den Fortschritten in der Medizin, den besseren Ernährungs- und Lebensbedingungen und einigen anderen Faktoren hat sich die menschliche Lebenserwartung…
in der westlichen Welt stark erhöht. In vielen Lebensbereichen sind individuelle und gesellschaftliche Alterungsprozessen spürbar. Die Einflüsse reichen von der Medizin, Wissenschaft, dem gesellschaftlichen Miteinander bis hin zur Gestaltung des Alltagslebens und der Lebenszeit. Namhafte Vertreter aus der Medizin, Pflege, Psychologie, Philosophie und Völkerkunde sowie anderen Disziplinen nähern sich in vielen Beiträgen dem Alterungsprozess mit seinen unterschiedlichen Facetten. Sie beschreiben die positiven Eigenschaften des Älterwerdens und zeigen auf welchen Gewinn das Älterwerden bringen kann. Altern ist aber auch ein Prozess, der mit Leid, Einschränkungen und Defiziten verbunden ist, diese negativen Merkmale werden ebenso ausreichend diskutiert und den positiven gegenübergestellt. Ein banaler Vergleich der Parameter des alten mit jenen eines jungen Menschen stellt sich dabei als unmöglich heraus. Es wäre auch ein unfairer Vergleich, der letztlich eine verächtliche und rücksichtslose Karikatur des Alters zeichnet. Ohne Adjektive kann das Altern nicht geschildert werden, doch könnte am Ende eine Überwindung der positiven Aspekten über den schlechten Eigenschaften stehen. Vergleichbar ist das Älterwerden mit einer mühevollen Bergwanderung, die am Schluss mit einer gute Aussicht belohnt wird. Das Buch richtet sich an alle Menschen, die aufgeschlossen den Veränderungen beim Älterwerden begegnen und sich mit den Vor- und Nachteilen auseinandersetzen möchten.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD • A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer…
that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert &“One of the most important books you&’ll ever read.&”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics AN ECONOMIST AND BLOOMBERG BEST BOOK OF THE YEARWouldn&’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health. For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer&’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting. This is not &“biohacking,&” it&’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia&’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover: • Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn&’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack.• That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging.• Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity &“drug&”—and how to begin training for the &“Centenarian Decathlon.&”• Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern.• Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all. Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.

This new edition, led by two prominent Professors of Nursing, explores issues of spiritual assessment in healthcare practice while adopting…
a lifespan approach and also including expertise from nursing, midwifery, medicine, mental health, children and adolescents, meaningful ageing, and intellectual disability. The importance of cultural sensitivity and diversity are explored because it is recognised that these are themes that have been neglected in discussions about spiritual assessment. It provides nurses and other healthcare professionals with a valuable resource that will assist them with identifying and meeting their patients' and clients' spiritual needs. The book, as previously, commenced by providing an overview of what is meant by spirituality, this operational definition is derived from the authors&’ research and experiences in teaching these subjects to a wide range of healthcare professionals. The updated and expanded text will assist readers to engage with the conceptual and theoretical challenges and developments associated with spirituality and spiritual care. The book offers very practical insights and steps for introducing and advancing spiritual assessment in a wide range of healthcare settings. The adoption of a life span approach means that concepts such as spirituality, spiritual care and assessment can be better understood by healthcare professionals working in specialist fields of practice. Each chapter will draw upon up to date evidence to demonstrate the development of both the art and science of spiritual assessment. The book will continue to challenge contemporary thinking, asking for healthcare professionals working within a diverse range of care settings, organisations/institutions, educational contexts to evaluate their practice in relation to spiritual assessment. A primary goal of this 2nd Edition is to continue to advance thinking and practice in spiritual assessment by using a lifespan approach that offers insight into the dilemmas, obstacles, deficits that inhibit or prevent nurses and other allied healthcare providers from supporting clients and patients with their spiritual needs.

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Three Dog Life , a witty and irreverent look at aging…
and the writing life, delivered with trademark brevity, humor, and wise wit. "The Emily Dickinson of memoirists" (Stephen King) Abigail Thomas shares her thoughts on aging in this irresistibly wry memoir-in-vignettes-offering richly insightful writing tips along the way. While reflecting on the past, Abby accepts the shape of her present. No more driving, no more dancing, mostly sitting in a comfortable chair in a sunny corner with three dogs for company-as well as the birds and other critters that she watches out her window. Only this beloved writer could generate so much enthusiasm over what might seem so little. Vivid memories fall like confetti, as time contracts, shoots forward, loops and suddenly she is back in her twenties in New York City, drinking, sleeping with strangers, falling in and out of love, believing in a better world. Sometimes dread or grief arrives, inhabits her body like a shadow, and all she can do is write it away, paying close attention to what catches her eye, sticks in her brain, keeps her in the moment. Whether you're a book lover, dog lover-or both-pull up a chair, pour a cup of tea, and enter Abigail Thomas's quietly mesmerizing world

Half of the population—the female half—is getting healthcare based on medical myth rather than evidence. Going Menopostal is Amy Alkon&’s…
mission to change that.This book started with a flash—Alkon&’s first hot flash. Drenching night sweats, insomnia, and brain fog soon followed—along with shame at feeling bewilderingly enraged at everyone and everything. Alkon, an award-winning science columnist and author, wanted to turn to her doctor. But there was a problem: More than half of the medical care we get in the US may not be &“based on, or supported by, adequate evidence,&” according to the US National Academy of Medicine. Knowing this, Alkon began a deep dive into the research on menopause and perimenopause––the 3 to 10 years leading up to menopause when women&’s symptoms are widely ignored, dismissed, and misdiagnosed (despite doctors having every intention of helping their patients). She was shocked by what she found: Most gynecology departments lack even one doctor with training and expertise in menopausal and perimenopausal medicine, and they expect their maternity and general reproductive health specialists to treat these conditions outside their scope of practice without informing patients––a violation of medical ethics. Perimenopause is wrongly viewed and treated as &“menopause lite&”––a time of lowered estrogen levels––when estrogen levels actually soar, making many women miserably symptomatic. Few doctors know that symptomatic perimenopausal women actually tend to lack progesterone, and that replacing it with safe, FDA-approved progesterone would alleviate their insomnia, hot flashes, and other suffering and counteract cell overgrowth that can lead to breast and endometrial cancer. Many doctors deny estrogen to their menopausal patients, unaware of current research showing that estrogen not only alleviates symptoms but protects against cardiovascular disease (soon to kill 1 in 3 women), bone fractures, metabolic syndrome, and more. Findings from studies done largely on middle-class white women are wrongly applied to black women and other women of color, ignoring crucial differences, such as generally lower triglyceride levels in black women that can make heart disease harder to detect. This meticulously researched book is written in clear, everyday language that you don&’t need the slightest science background to understand (along with Alkon&’s signature dark humor). Alkon equips you with the exact words to confidently ask critical questions and motivate your doctor to partner with you and treat you appropriately––instead of giving you the &“treatment&” her favorite bus driver got: told by her doctor to &“just wait out&” her raging insomnia, night sweats, and hot flashes. Alkon&’s ultimate goal: Empowering all women with the science and strategies they need to get the evidence-based care they expect and deserve.

book provides a clear and concise guide to the epidemiology and clinical research on epilepsy as it occurs in the context of other brain diseases.A better and more detailed understanding of the diseases related to the brain following decades of advances in neuroimaging, pathology, and neurophysiology have led to new insights into mechanisms leading to epilepsy. Advances in research on epilepsy in one brain disease are known to lead to an improved understanding of epilepsy in others. Advances in neurological care have resulted in patients with stroke, tumors, or infections surviving longer, with ensuing demands for long-term treatment, including epilepsy.A key message across the different chapters in the book is that epilepsy in other brain diseases should be managed just as ambitiously as any other epilepsy. Neurologists treating patients with brain disease will find this book accessible and practical. It will ensure a deeper understanding of acquired epilepsy among clinicians.
