Editorial Reviews for Handbook of Social Work in Health and Aging
|
The fields of health care, aging, and social work are often treated as discrete entities, while all social workers deal with issues of health and aging on a daily basis, regardless of practice specialization. The Handbook of Social Work in Health and Aging is the first reference to address this reality by compiling the most current thinking on these subjects in a single volume. With the population of older adults increasing as rapidly as new possibilities for their care, professionals need an accessible source of specialized information about how best to serve the elderly and their families, and they will find this authoritative handbook indispensable.
In 100 original chapters, the most experienced and prominent gerontological health care scholars in the United States and across the world provide social workers with up-to-date knowledge of evidence-based practice guidelines for effectively assessing and treating older adults and supporting their families. The contributing authors paint rich portraits of a variety of populations that social workers serve and arenas in which they practice, followed by detailed recommendations of best practices for an array of physical and mental health conditions. Its unprecedented attention to diversity, global trends, and implications for research, government policy, and education make the publication of such a compendium a major event in the field of gerontological social work.
Ambitious and multi-dimensional, this handbook represents the best research on health and aging available to social workers today.

Summary: helpful, comprehensive, easy to navigate
Comment: The Handbook is a godsend for people desiring one-stop shopping for information about older adults and health topics. Chapters cover almost every imaginable disease in the beginning, and then go on to look at social conditions and population diversity among older Americans, and also has a section on aging as an international topic.
