Beschreibung:
It's the standard picture, and a depressing one: older adults receiving formal care as passive and alienated. Overlooked in this equation is the capacity of dependent elders for giving back - doing for others - and their need to continue finding meaning to their existence which is an essential aspect of improving their lives and care.
Presenting the work of leading thinkers, and the voices of the elderly themselves, this book highlights the significance of reciprocity for the maintenance of self-esteem in old age and discusses negative implications when that significance goes unrecognized.
