Synopsis

Social isolation of the aging is a growing phenomenon in developed nations – and a problem that our society must confront. This comprehensive volume brings you the results of major research findings on social isolation, as well as describes practical programs that reduce isolation among both the community-based aged and residents of geriatric institutions. It shows how to identify an isolate, discusses the consequences of isolation, and presents effective resocialization techniques. Written by leading experts in the field, "Aging, Isolation and Resocialization" is a much-needed book in a highly sensitive area. It will be valued by geriatricians, gerontologists, and geriatric researchers, as well as by a wide variety of physicians, nurses, nursing home directors, and students of geriatrics.
