The text discusses theoretical models underlying geropsychology and examines common difficulties that affect older adults along with the most effectivetreatment approaches for this population. With a focus on the strengths and functions of older adults, the text examines the unique psychological problemsof later life and conflicts caused by retirement, living longer, financial stressors, and chronic illness. It discusses the complications of changingfamily systems, coping with cognitive impairments, how psychologists understand and treat Alzheimer’s and dementia patients, older adult sexuality and theunique sexual problems confronting LGBT individuals, elder abuse, ageism, substance abuse, and issues surrounding death and dying. A chapter on futuredirections for psychological research and practice highlights the many opportunities available in this field.
