Behavioural Gerontology: Central Issues in the Psychology of Ageing Book

Behavioural Gerontology Central Issues In The Psychology of Ageing D. B. Bromley, University of Liverpool, UK From published reviews "Bromley writes stimulatingly on many of these of these topics (adult development, intelligence, learning, knowing and forgetting, motivation and emotion etc.), and his frequent ability to return to the basic nub of a problem in dealing with a complex issue is refreshing." Behavior Research & Therapy "The book is supported by up-to-date references throughout. The content of this book provides an approach to ageing that is not only interesting and thought provoking but I feel offers, for psychiatrists, in particular those working with the elderly, a slightly different but valid insight into certain aspects of ageing." British Journal of Psychiatry "Professor Bromley introduces the reader to a new discipline he terms `behavioural gerontology'. In the preface and introductory chapter, the author painstakingly submits and successfully defends the premise that behavioural gerontology stands as a separate discipline within psychology, devoting itself to the study of the psychology of ageing in a manner similar to child psychology." International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.Read More
