Social Work with the Aged and Their Families (Modern Applications of Social Work)
“Directed to the geriatric social work field, this volume offers a “holistic and systematic approach to biopsychosocial problems of the aging process.” Of special interest to social workers needing a comprehensive introduction to the geriatric field, it could also serve as a textbook because of its background overview of each of the areas it addresses.”—Family Relations"Social Work with the Aged and their Families is the 3rd edition of a text originally published in 1986. It provides a model (FAM) for conducting a biopsychosocial and spiritual assessment of an older adult within a family systems perspective. It remains one of the few if not the only books available for clinical social workers interested in direct practice with families of later years."—Robyn L. Golden, LCSW, Rush University Medical Center"Dr. Greene's new edition of this practical and readable text addresses social work practitioners who work with the ever-growing elder population. Based on years of practice and teaching experience, she presents the Functional-Age Model of intergenerational treatment and walks the practitioner through the assessment and intervention process relating to the individual, family, group and community levels. This book is a must for every gerontological social worker."—Shira Hantman, Ph.D.,Tel Hai Academic College
