This book presents to the professional specialist the realities of the workplace, integrating our theoretical understanding of gerontological issues with practical applications in the format of a handbook, or guide, to be used by those working as counselors, therapists, chaplains, attorneys, etc. who practice within the aging community. My perspective is holistic, interweaving aspects of widely-held concepts of human and spiritual development with elements synthesized from other disciplines. Current research and publications are referenced for clarity and as suggestions for further study. While the field of gerontology continues to grow exponentially, all of this guide's content is designed to be relevant, helpful and inspiring now.
