Psychologische Grundlagen der Gerontologie

This book provides an overview of the psychological foundations of gerontology and explains the psychology of ageing from a lifespan point of view. It represents a compendium on gerontopsychology and is used for basic reading in many study courses and training courses in the social sciences, health sciences, and nursing studies, as well as in developmental psychology.
