Interventionsgerontologie

In gerontology, the need for high-quality interventions, including prevention, is becoming ever more pressing as the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age, life expectancy continues to rise and there is an increasing shortage of skilled workers. Against this background, this updated edition of "Intervention Gerontology" concisely presents, as did its predecessors in 2000 and 2012, a broad spectrum of behavior-related interventions in 100 articles. What is new in "Intervention Gerontology" is that it again includes a significantly expanded assessment of all currently available research evidence. Chapter 100 contains an overall summary of all forms of intervention covered in the book presented in the form of a meta-synthesis. The book thus provides a reliable and critical guide to the various gerontological interventions currently available.
