Book excerpt: Ideas, reflexiones, historias, experiencias y anotaciones varias sobre la vejez, contra el "viejismo" y con la esperanzada intención de convertir esta etapa tardía y cada vez más prolongada en la mejor de nuestras vidas. Llegar a la vejez es un privilegio reservado para algunas y algunos. Para cada vez más gente, gracias a la ciencia, hoy además puede ser (salvo para quienes la transcurren agobiados por la pobreza) una fase especialmente creativa, dinámica, erótica y feliz como pocas otras de nuestras existencias. Para ello es necesario combatir el "viejismo", prejuicio social que se empeña en ofrecer una versión oscura de la ancianidad; también metabolizar los inevitables cambios y pérdidas a que nos expone el paso de los años. Si entendemos que la vejez es una etapa más, como la infancia y la adultez, que debemos llevar adelante aprovechando la sabiduría y la serenidad que le son propias, pueden ser años de mucha energía. Un tiempo de festejar y agradecer, de revivir los momentos más dichosos y celebrar las dificultades superadas. De dejarnos sorprender, emprender nuevas actividades y apostar por el amor vaciando la mochila de los sentimientos negativos que podamos haber acumulado en nuestro andar. De gozar de la proximidad de personas amadas, disponiendo de un tiempo libre que creímos no tener antes, ¡como si hubiera cosas más importantes! Pacho O'Donnell despliega un conjunto de ideas, historias y reflexiones sobre este momento que él mismo transita con plena conciencia de sus desafíos a la vez que imbuido de un espíritu decididamente vitalista. En la convicción de que con amor, amistad, placer, compromiso y lucidez, es posible hacer de esta la mejor etapa de nuestra vida.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una reflexión sobre los retos que plantea la vejez desde un punto de vista psicológico, emocional y social. La vejez es uno de los mayores desafíos a los que se enfrenta nuestra sociedad. Cada vez vivimos más años y tenemos menos hijos. Este cambio demográfico, así como la transformación de nuestro estilo de vida y de las formas de convivencia, ha aumentado la brecha entre generaciones, el aislamiento y la soledad en un tiempo en el que la madurez se experimenta de modo muy distinto al que conocíamos. Ya no hay una sola vejez, sino que esta pasa por diferentes etapas, lo que conlleva una nueva manera de entender el envejecimiento. Construir una colectividad basada en los cuidados será un objetivo decisivo y necesario a la hora de enfrentarnos a este mayúsculo reto. ¿Debemos sacrificar nuestro proyecto vital para cuidar de nuestros mayores? ¿Quién y cómo nos cuidará si no tenemos hijos o viven lejos de nosotros? ¿Tendremos que seguir trabajando llegada la vejez? ¿Necesitamos un proyecto personal y colectivo para afrontar esta etapa de la vida? A partir de preguntas como estas, Javier Yanguas plantea la magnitud del desafío que supone la nueva vejez: una etapa vital que condicionará nuestra vida y la organización de nuestra sociedad.

Download or read book Caring for Latinxs with Dementia in a Globalized World written by Hector Y. Adames and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a broad and critical presentation of the behavioral and psychosocial treatments of Latinxs with dementia in the United States (U.S.) and across a representative sample of Spanish-speaking countries in the world. The compendium of chapters, written by researchers, practitioners, and policy analysts from multiple disciplines provides a deep exploration of the current state of dementia care for Latinxs in the U.S. and around the globe. The volume is designed to increase and strengthen the collective scientific and sociocultural understanding of the epidemiological and biopsychosocial factors, as well as the overlapping systemic challenges that impact diagnosis and symptom management of Latinxs with dementia. The authors introduce policy options to reduce risk factors for dementia and present culturally-responsive interventions that meet the needs of Latinx patients and their caregivers. Highlighted topics featured in the book include: Contextual, cultural, and socio-political issues of Latinxs with dementia. New meta-analysis of dementia rates in the Americas and Caribbean. Dementia-related behavioral issues and placement considerations. Educational, diagnostic, and supportive psychosocial interventions. Pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and ethnocultural healthcare interventions. Intersectionality as a practice of dementia care for sexual and gender minoritized Latinxs. Prescriptions for policy and programs to empower older Latinxs and their families. Caring for Latinxs with Dementia in a Globalized World: Behavioral and Psychosocial Treatments is a resource that accentuates and contextualizes the heterogeneity in nationality, immigration, race, sexual orientation, gender, and political realities. It is a key reference for a wide range of fields inclusive of demography, geriatrics, gerontology, medicine, mental health, neurology, neuropsychology, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacology, psychiatry, psychology, rehabilitation, social work, sociology, and statistics all of which, collectively, bear on the problem and the solutions for better care for Latinxs affected by dementia.

Download or read book Contextualizing Health and Aging in the Americas written by William A. Vega and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents new insights into the consequences of the impending growth in and impact of the older segment of Latino aging adults across distinctive regions of the Americas. It uses a comparative research framework to further understanding of current issues in health and aging in the transnational context of the health and migratory experiences of the U.S.- Mexican population. It provides an important contribution to the interdisciplinary investigation of chronic diseases and functional impairments, social care and medical services, care-giving and intervention development, and neighborhood factors supporting optimal aging, using new conceptual and methodological approaches (inter-group comparisons). Specifically, the chapters employ different methodologies that investigate trends in aging health and services related to immigration processes, family and household structure, macroeconomic changes in the quality of community life, and focus on the new realities of aging in Latino families in local communities. The book focuses on measurement, data-quality issues, new conceptual modeling techniques, and longitudinal survey capabilities, and suggests needed areas of new research. As such it is of interest to researchers and policy makers in a wide range of disciplines from social and behavioral sciences to economics, gerontology, geriatrics, and public health.

Download or read book Understanding the Context of Cognitive Aging written by Jacqueline L. Angel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a bi-national portrait of dementia in the rapidly aging Mexican-origin population in Mexico and the United States. It provides a comprehensive overview of critical conceptual and methodological issues in the study of cognitive aging and related mental and physical conditions. The book examines the sources of vulnerability and their consequences for Mexican-origin and for “aging in place”. By providing a combination of new knowledge, empirical evidence, and fresh approaches of dementia support in later life, this book will contribute to moving the field of Mexican-origin aging and health forward. By focusing on the serious challenges in old-age support for older people with dementia and neurocognitive disorders in two different contexts, this book will deepen academics, researchers, students and young investigators understanding of what is necessary to achieve optional care.

Book excerpt: Award-winning Chilean author Marcela Serrano weaves a beautiful story about the universal connections between women. For nine Chilean women, life couldn't be more different. There is the teenage computer whiz confronting her sexual identity. A middle-aged recluse who prefers the company of her dog over that of most humans. A housekeeper. A celebrity television personality. A woman confronting the loneliness of old age. Of disparate ages and races, these women represent the variety of cultural and social groups that Chile comprises. On the surface, they seem to have nothing in common...except for their beloved therapist, who brings them together. Yet as different as they all are, each woman has a story to share. As the women tell their stories, unlikely common threads are discovered, bonds are formed, and lives are transformed. Their stories form an intricate tale of triumph, heartache, and healing that will resonate with women from all walks of life. An International DUBLIN Literary Award Nominee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A mesmerizing new historical novel” (O, The Oprah Magazine) from Lisa See, the bestselling author of The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, about female friendship and devastating family secrets on a small Korean island. Mi-ja and Young-sook, two girls living on the Korean island of Jeju, are best friends who come from very different backgrounds. When they are old enough, they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective, led by Young-sook’s mother. As the girls take up their positions as baby divers, they know they are beginning a life of excitement and responsibility—but also danger. Despite their love for each other, Mi-ja and Young-sook find it impossible to ignore their differences. The Island of Sea Women takes place over many decades, beginning during a period of Japanese colonialism in the 1930s and 1940s, followed by World War II, the Korean War, through the era of cell phones and wet suits for the women divers. Throughout this time, the residents of Jeju find themselves caught between warring empires. Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collaborator. Young-sook was born into a long line of haenyeo and will inherit her mother’s position leading the divers in their village. Little do the two friends know that forces outside their control will push their friendship to the breaking point. “This vivid…thoughtful and empathetic” novel (The New York Times Book Review) illuminates a world turned upside down, one where the women are in charge and the men take care of the children. “A wonderful ode to a truly singular group of women” (Publishers Weekly), The Island of Sea Women is a “beautiful story…about the endurance of friendship when it’s pushed to its limits, and you…will love it” (Cosmopolitan).

Download or read book Oh What a Paradise It Seems written by John Cheever and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-07-26 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the most renowned twentieth-century American writers, this “luminous ephiphany of life ... [is] a charming fable of old age, nostalgia, and loss” (The Washington Post Book World). Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Cheever's final novel is a fable set in a village so idyllic it has no fast-food outlet and having as its protagonist an old man, Lemuel Sears, who still has it in him to fall wildly in love with strangers of both sexes. But Sears's paradise is threatened; the pond he loves is being fouled by unscrupulous polluters. In Cheever's accomplished hands the battle between an elderly romantic and the monstrous aspects of late-twentieth-century civilization becomes something ribald, poignant, and ineffably joyful. "This is perfect Cheever—it is perfect." —The New York Times Book Review
