Summary: This book provides a practical guide to working with older people in a range of settings. It addresses the complexities and challenges of individual work with older people, as well as work with families, groups and the wider community. Although it has a strong practical emphasis, the book also stresses the value of theoretical perspectives, with insights from fields such as sociology and psychology. Clear links are also made to policy guidelines and organizational standards, without losing sight of the deeper, complex, issues that arise when working with older people.
