Description
Older Women: Current and Future Challenges of Professionals With An Aging Population is about older women and the unique challenges they face now and in coming decades. Elderly women face problems that require response from multiple service providers in the social welfare health care and legal sectors. Due to the complexity of the various issues and the multi-systemic responses required to address these problems among diverse groups an interdisciplinary perspective in a multicultural context needs to be examined. This book is an attempt to explain the multidisciplinary facets of social work with elderly women. Readers are also introduced to the ethical issues and challenges caused by economic disparities and are also provided with guidelines on potential responses and intervention strategies to such difficulties. Readers are also introduced to the concept of cultural competence in terms of working with aged women.

The integration of theory research and practice in this book makes it a valuable resource for academicians and working professionals who are or will be in frequent contact with older adults.
