SW 574 Social Work with Older Adults

Mental and physical frailties experienced by older adults are examined for their implications for adaptation and intervention. Mental disorders as they are uniquely characterized in late adulthood are reviewed, with special emphasis on age appropriate assessment. Psychosocial interventions for both community and institutionalized populations will include individual, family, group, and environmental approaches.
