Women and Aging International: Diversity, Challenges and Contributions
In many cases, the difference is so large that the concerns of the older population should in fact be viewed primarily as the concerns of older women.´´ Internationally, the concerns of older women emanate from the unique gendered challenges they experience because they are more likely to be widowed, poor, have lower educational attainment, fewer skills, restricted inheritance and land ownership, and have fewer sexual rights.
To add to this negative scenario, ageist and sexist attitudes in both developed and developing societies throughout the world tend to categorize older women as non-contributing burdens even though they are in fact often highly productive and bear most of the burdens of family caregiving responsibilities.
In spite of their majority status and list of concerns, older women are less likely to be equally represented in the literature on aging.
This edited book introduces the reader to the diversity, challenges and contributions of older women in several of the major regions of the world.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Diversity in Social Work.

Portman, Michael E.: Generalized Anxiety Disorder Across the Lifespan
Rural Retirement Migration
This book examines the migration of older persons to rural retirement destinations in the United States.
While the majority of older persons are residentially stable, those who migrate are disproportionately likely to move to a rural community.
Moreover, with the aging of the baby boom generation, particular rural communities can expect to continue attracting older in-migrants in the future.
The book examines rural retirement migration from the older in-migrants’ perspective and from the vantage point of the destination communities to which they move.
This integrated micro-macro approach permits the authors to view older in-migrants as embedded in particular types of environments that facilitate and/or constrain their opportunities for productive living during older age.
It also permits the examination of positive and negative effects of older in-migration for destination communities.
The authors use a multiple methods approach featuring a panel survey of older in-migrants and longer-term older residents, in-depth community case studies and county-level census data analysis to produce a grounded study of population aging in the context of rural society.
The analysis examines the challenges and opportunities presented by migration at older ages both for successful aging and for community development.
The book pays particular attention to the process through which older in-migrants become socially integrated in their new communities, and it contains rich detail on the social relationships they form, the nature of their civic engagement, and the positive and negative reactions they elicit from longer-term residents.
The volume concludes with a thoughtful discussion of policy lessons learned from the research, and with an examination of high priority research needs on retirement migration.

Older People, Ageing and Social Work - Knowledge for Practice
A systematic and research-based introduction to social work practice with older people.
Essential reading for practitioners, educators and researchers within the general field of social work with older people. - From the foreword by Mark Lymbery, Associate Professor of Social Work, University of Nottingham
The reality of our ageing population means all social workers need to be confident in working with older people.
Social workers are engaged in ongoing practice with older people in a variety of contexts, from hospitals, aged care assessment teams and mental health services to employment services, housing services and rehabilitation services.
Older People, Ageing and Social Work draws on theoretical, research, policy and practice knowledge to inform contemporary practice with older people.
Hughes and Heycox demonstrate that high level professional skills are required in this area as well as detailed knowledge of the issues affecting older peoples lives.
They argue that practitioners need to take into account the social and emotional needs of the older people they work with, as well as the practical and administrative aspects of their roles.
They emphasise understanding the diversity of the older population and enabling older people to make the most of their strengths and capacities.

Personality Disorders and Older Adults - Diagnosis, Assessment, and Treatment
The older adult population is booming in the United State and across the globe.
With this boom comes an increase in the number of older adults who experience psychological disorders.
Current estimates suggest that about 20% of older persons are diagnosable with a mental disorder: Personality disorders are among the most poorly understood, challenging, and frustrating of these disorders among older adults.
This book is designed to provide scholarly and scientifically-based guidance about the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of personality disorders to health professionals, mental health professionals, and senior service professionals who encounter personality-disordered or difficult older adults.
