Recenzii
“This text offers a unique approach to building our social work practitioner workforce of the future. It integrates theory with knowledge and skills.”
“The Chonody and Teater textbook will make a solid contribution to the field of gerontological social work and provide a useful resource for students beyond their coursework.”
“This book offers the foundational knowledge for social workers practicing with older adults and their families, while also tackling the important social justice topics related to ageism, intersectionality and diversity, and use of theories that attend to the challenges and opportunities that coincide with aging. It is a wonderful resource and offers a great lens for how to promote ‘actively aging’ within social work practice.”
“The common determinants to the health and well-being of older adults are discussed in a clear, jargon-free, cogent manner. The content in this text provides necessary general knowledge of older adult concerns and, perhaps most importantly, the implications critical to social work practice in gerontological and geriatric settings.”
“Informative, up to date, and the best material I have seen for a gerontology course.”
“This book will be of inestimable value to students and scholars, especially in social work.”
“This textbook provides information on the complex interaction of psychological, social and cultural factions in addition to current theoretical frameworks used in assessment and treatment.”
“This text is a thoroughly comprehensive look at the multifaceted issues surrounding aging from micro, mezzo and macro social work practice perspectives. The emphasis is on understanding and promoting active(ly) aging practices and policies.”
“This text is well written, speaks to current issues facing social workers engaging with older adults, and provides a broad perspective from which to view social work with older adults.”
“This text is written in an interesting, intriguing manner, with practical suggestions for social work intervention in a variety of situations.”
“This book will help students understand generalist practice with elders and the many career opportunities available in gerontology.”
“Addressing a need in the field, this textbook serves both as an exceptional text and a worthy reference for practitioners.”
“Building on evidence-supported active aging models, this book sheds light on specific domains that affect active aging, and introduces an array of micro, mezzo and macro social work practice approaches with older adults.”
“The book covers areas of social work that are needed given the demographic profile of older adults in the United States.”
“The extensive content provides an innovative and comprehensive appreciation of the issues contributing to the experience of aging.”

Notă biografică
Jill Chonodyis an Associate Professor of Social Work at Boise State University and an Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of South Australia. She researches attitudes toward older adults amongst social work students, faculty, and practitioners and the ways that curriculum can address biases against vulnerable and oppressed populations, including older people. She is also interested in the way that creativity can be used in research, such photographic techniques, and psychometrics. Dr. Chonody has presented her research both nationally and internationally and has over 40 published articles and book chapters. Her first book, Community Art: Creative Approaches to Practice, provides an overview of different arts-based interventions that can be used by social workers, community organizers, and nurses, amongst others, and includes chapters on photography, street art, storytelling, and evaluation.
Descriere
Social Work Practice With Older Adults by Jill Chonody and Barbra Teater presents a contemporary framework based on the World Health Organization’s active aging policy that allows forward-thinking students to focus on client strengths and resources when working with the elderly. The Actively Aging framework takes into account health, social, behavioral, economic, and personal factors as they relate to aging, but also explores environmental issues, which aligns with the new educational standards put forth by the Council on Social Work Education. Covering micro, mezzo, and macro practice domains, the text examines all aspects of working with aging populations, from assessment through termination.
