THE PSYCHOLOGY OF NORMAL AGING - 11/09/11
Résumé |
It is important for the mental health practitioner to be knowledgeable about the normal changes that occur with the aging process. Diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders in the older adult must be based on this foundation. This article reviews some of the “normal” age-related changes in physiology, sensory abilities, sleep, personality, sexual functioning, and cognition, as well as changes with “normal” grief in the older adult population. Such changes have great importance in the psychosocial and interpersonal aspects of day-to-day living for the elderly.
