Written within a bio-psychosocial framework, Cavanaugh's ADULT DEVELOPMENT AND AGING, 9th edition, covers the specific ages-stages of adult development and aging. Delivering unparalleled coverage of current research and theory, the author draws clear connections between research and application. The book's focus on ""positive aging"" and the gains and losses people experience across adulthood distinguish it from its competitors. Completely up to date, the 9th edition discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adult development and aging and examines how technology increases the likelihood of aging in place. Boxed features highlight details of important research studies, point out controversial issues about chapter concepts to promote critical thinking, illustrate aging principles through real-life examples and connect research to current social policy.
