Psychology of Aging

A Concise Exploration

About this book

In Psychology of Aging: A Concise Exploration, author Sara J. Margolin redefines how we think about getting older. Employing a bio-psycho-social perspective, Margolin introduces modern learners to the study of adulthood and aging, offering a holistic examination of its impact on our bodies, minds, relationships, and social roles. Through an innovative myth vs. fact approach, the text dispels common misconceptions using humor, compassion, and robust research. Emphasizing real-life aging processes and adaptations, students gain insights applicable not only to future careers but also within family and personal life contexts.
