Couverture du Barbara Berkman & Linda Harootyan: Social Work and Health Care in an Aging Society (ePUB)

This book places significant issues related to the health, mental health, and well-being of older adults and their caregivers within the context of social work service delivery. By presenting the research of social work scholars, all experts in specific research areas, the editors clarify the value that social work brings to the larger realm of health care for older adults and their families.
