Description: In this book, the authors present their innovative conceptual framework for task-centered social work practice with older adults. This integrative model clearly illustrates how practitioners and students can incorporate social work practices in different organizational settings and practice arenas including psychiatric, health services, religious, political, legal, occupational, and more.

Information on communication skills and the authors stimulating case studies make this an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate social work programs in gerontology.
