Gerontologie Einführung und Geschichte
Beschrijving
Bol
Gerontology is a discipline with a very strong interdisciplinary orientation - ageing can probably only be understood through a synergy-rich linking of different fields of study. In this fully revised second edition, this book - first published in 2004 - places the full emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of gerontology. Psychological, sociological, biological, geriatric, gerontopsychiatric aspects, as well as aspects from other fields, are incorporated into the presentation of basic theoretical, empirical and methodological issues in gerontology. In addition, the social importance of gerontology and its history from ancient times to the present day are also brought out - before the final chapter asks, 'Quo Vadis Gerontology?' Overall, the book provides a compact system of arrangement for today=s deluge of concepts, theories, findings and interventional options in gerontology.

Bol PartnerDieses Buches gibt gleichermaßen eine anschauliche Einführung wie eine lebendige Beschreibung der Geschichte der Alternsforschung. In Kapitel 1 wird die heutige Bedeutung der Gerontologie in Forschung und Gesellschaft herausgestellt, gefolgt von einer neuartigen Systematik zur Strukturierung der Gerontologie anhand von Definitionen, Disziplinen und "Essentials" in Kapitel 2. Das wissenschaftshistorisch ausgerichtete Kapitel 3 spannt einen weiten Bogen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Kapitel 4 arbeitet die Bedeutung von Theorien in der Alternsforschung heraus und ordnet die heute existierende große Vielfalt an Theorien und Methoden in griffiger Weise. In den Kapiteln 5 und 6 werden grundlagen- und anwendungsorientierte gerontologische Befunde vorgestellt, bevor es in Kapitel 7 "Quo vadis Gerontologie?" heißt.
