Mental Health In Later Life by Alisoun Milne, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Focussing on mental health rather than mental illness, this book adopts a lifecourse approach to understanding mental health and wellbeing in later life. Well-respected author and scholar Alisoun Milne explores the influences of lifecourse experiences, structural inequalities, socio-political context, history, gender and age related factors and engages with new ways of thinking about preventing mental ill health and promoting mental health in later life. Drawing together material from a number of different fields the book analyses the meaning and determinants of mental health amongst older populations and offers a critical review of the lifecourse, ageing and mental health debate for students, professionals, policy makers and researchers. | Mental Health In Later Life by Alisoun Milne, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
