Beskrivning
As the Baby Boom Generation reaches retirement age, this cohort presents unique challenges for researchers and mental health providers.The Baby Boom generation (individuals born between 1946 and 1964) are shaped by particular historical and socioeconomic forces. Born in the post‐World War era of widely shared affluence, they now face significant cultural, technological, and economic uncertainties in a rapidly changing world. This book examines the shared experiences as well as the key differences within this cohort, ranging from the early‐ vs. later‐born ("Leading Edge" vs. "Trailing Edge"), as well as important racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic class distinctions, with an emphasis on impacts for common later-in-life challenges in mental and physical health. Chapters describe current research and clinical recommendations for treating conditions related to work and retirement, cognitive aging, health disparities and government services, technological and social trends, caregiving and palliative care, as well as the unique experiences of LGBTQ and ethnic minority populations.
