About the Book

The diverse and comprehensive collection of papers presented in this book provide a valuable compendium of knowledge on senior (elderly) citizens hitherto unavailable in such terse form. It discusses the subject on interdisciplinary basis and suggests ways and means of promoting their proper rehabilitation. It is as much useful for future research on the subject. The book is global in outlook and pools information from both developed and developing countries. It also touches upon the positive life-style of the elderly in China, Japan and India (Kurichia tribe) and says that this life-style has been responsible for their happy and long life. Problems relating to psychological phobias, environmental constraints, loss of identity and status, as also problems resulting out of permanent dependency and geriatric-cum-degenerative difficulties have also been discussed and their solutions suggested.
