The Oxford Encyclopedia of Psychology and Aging
The Oxford Encyclopedia of Psychology and Aging provides a broad overview of the field of psychology and aging and a springboard to delve more deeply into specific topics. Its in-depth scholarly articles written by experts worldwide cover theories and conceptual models that shape the field, including perspectives from neighboring disciplines like biology and sociology of aging; methodologies and analytic approaches to the study of aging; the cognitive and affective neuroscience of aging; social and environmental influences on aging and on older adults; clinical geropsychology; developmental psychopathology and implications of aging and the late life context for psychological assessment and therapy with older adults. All of the articles appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology.
