    a| "Around the world, there's a growing population of older adults facing the challenges of aging and in need of competent social care and health care. The dominant theory is that to age is to steadily decline in physical and mental abilities. To counter this pernicious philosophy, Narrative Social Work with Older Adults offers a treatment modality based in narrative medicine, in which the client's resilience comes from recollecting their life narrative. This book provides a new practice framework, drawing from Narrative Therapy (NT)-which emphasizes the value of personal experiences and focuses on assisting clients in expressing their life experiences-to rediscover the immense potential of older adults to develop new meaning out of their ever-changing life situations. The authors, Chow, from Hong Kong, and Taylor and Mui, from New York City, document and explore the cultural contexts of story to lay out a globally minded practice. This book is a step-by-step manual for students and practitioners in health care, social work, gerontology, and counseling to develop a culturally specific practice framework for aging adults. This new paradigm brings narrative therapy to gerontological practice in a way that's culturally sensitive"-- c| Provided by publisher.
