The HANDBOOK OF THE PSYCHOLOGY OF AGING, 6E provides a comprehensive
summary and evaluation of recent research on the psychological aspects
of aging. The 22 chapters are organized into four divisions: Concepts,
Theories, and Methods in the Psychology of Aging; Biological and
Social Influences on Aging; Behavioral Processes and Aging; and
Complex Behavioral Concepts and Processes in Aging.
The 6th edition of the _Handbook_ is considerably changed from the
previous edition. Half of the chapters are on new topics and the
remaining half are on returning subjects that are entirely new
presentations by different authors of new material. Some of the
exciting new topics include Contributions of Cognitive Neuroscience to
Understanding Behavior and Aging, Everyday Problem Solving and
Decision Making, Autobiographical Memory, and Religion and Health Late

The _Handbook_ will be of use to researchers and professional
practitioners working with the aged. It is also suitable for use as a
textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses on the
psychology of aging.
