Description

Gerontological Social Work in Action provides a fresh perspective on working with older adults, families, and communities. Published by Routledge, this textbook introduces the concept of anti-oppression gerontology (AOG). This critical approach helps social workers navigate the complexities of a rapidly aging and increasingly diverse world. By applying AOG principles to both direct and indirect practice, this book prepares professionals to address various topics relevant to modern social work. The text combines theoretical frameworks and research with practical tools to support real-world application. Readers will find a unique blend of stories from diverse older adults, which helps ground academic concepts in lived experience. This resource encourages social workers to think differently and challenge oppressive forces within the field. It is designed for those looking to improve their practice through a lens of equity and social justice. Whether you are a student or a seasoned professional, this text offers the necessary insights to work effectively with aging populations in a changing social landscape.
