Book Overview
Adult Development and Aging: Biopsychosocial Perspectives, 5th Edition incorporates material that the authors, Susan Krauss Whitbourne and Stacey B. Whitbourne, believe is vital to student understanding of this rapidly-developing and fascinating field of study. This text focuses on three themes: a multidisciplinary approach, positive images of aging, and the newest and most relevant research. Much of what students will read comes directly from Susan's classroom teaching of the Psychology of Aging course; she continues to incorporate her day-to-day teaching of the course into the text, which keeps the material current, fresh, and engaging.

Highly Recommend for Anyone Interested in Adult Devleopment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a great book for anyone interested in the general topics concerning adult development and aging. I used this book in my Psychology of Aging class at UCLA and found it very easy to read and understand. The biopsychosocial perspective takes into account all areas of life and is a great place to begin understanding the challenges we face as adults as we age and also what preventative measure we can employ early in adulthood to increases our chances of living a longer, healthier, more productive life.
Learning to Understand the Aging Environment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This text provides detailed information on what happens as we age. It's a little scary - but it certainly gives us insight and skills into working most effectively with the changes caused by aging. It helped me personally to deal better with my Mom, by altering my speech patterns and communication of events. It also lets you see the importance of all the devices out there to assist the elderly - and in turn, encourage the use of these tools.
