It provides a broad context in which to understand the client from a historical, cultural, biological, and social perspective. It uses an interdisciplinary approach, with contributions from occupational, physical, and speech therapists; social workers; psychologists; and anthropologists. It reviews assessment and intervention strategies to enable older adults to sustain meaningful engagement in valued life activities.It discusses technological advances, public policy, family, and inter-professional factors. It addresses self-care, work, and leisure from the perspective of aging - topics rarely discussed in gerontology textbooks.
