Psychology of Ageing : An Introduction. - Tapa blanda

Written as an introduction to the psychology of ageing, this book covers all the principal areas of the psychology of ageing - perception, intelligence, memory, language, personality and the dementias. Written in a non-specialist language, no prior knowledge in psychology is expected or necessary. The book aims to provide readers with the essence of current thinking on the subject, and should also be useful to psychologists looking for a primer or revision aid. The book constitutes a comprehensive text for students of life span psychology at undergraduate level, but is also useful for anyone associated with the care and treatment of the elderly - including doctors, nurses, and others in the caring professions. The glossary has been expanded, and a comprehensive set of references included.
