It demonstrates the author's application of social work skills and knowledge in the areas of communication, environmental and family systems, cultural issues, community relationships, client assessment and treatment plans, research, and advocacy. The author's accounts of career opportunities, challenges, and successes as well as real-life case illustrations, provide a window into the development of social work and related mental health services in the fields of aging and healthcare during her career (40+ years). Kaplan's goal is both to re-affirm the geriatric professionals' commitment to working with older adults and demonstrate the diverse ways in which to improve their clients' lives, as well as encourage more professionals and students to consider the many paths that can be taken to serve this aging population. The book reveals the diverse settings and roles that have emerged for practitioners to work with older adults in delivering healthcare, long-term care, and community-based services"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Social work with older people $z United States. 650 0 $a Older people $x Services for $z United States. 650 0 $a Aging $z United States. 650 7 $a Aging. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00800293 650 7 $a Older people $x Services for. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01199127 650 7 $a Social work with older people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01199449 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kaplan, Mary $t The practice of social work with older adults $b 1 Edition. $d Baltimore : Health Professions Press, 2020 $z 9781938870873 $w (DLC) 2019058048 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505014557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C86EF8E8E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
