Produktbeschreibung
A common perception of older age is that of a life
characterised by loss and decline. Changes in health
status, social relationships, activities or income
pose a significant threat to the subjective
well-being of an older person. But contrary to this
viewpoint, for many older people their sense of
well-being is not affected, despite the influence of
age associated adversities. Exploring this well-being paradox is the focus of this book. It
critically examines how psychological resources are
an important source of resilience in older age. It
analyses how well-being may be maintained through the
effects of psychological resilience as an interpretive link , and how resilience may protect
against challenges associated with ageing. In doing
so, this book disputes many of the myths of older age.
