AGES 3225 Psychology of Aging

With a multidimensional approach, this course will cover aging from a biopsychosocial model. Emphasis is given to the issues of normal vs. pathological age-related changes, particularly in the case of neurodegeneration. Caregiving is highlighted along with societal viewpoints surrounding death and dying. Some additional attention will be given to the impact of public policy (e.g., healthcare, retirement) on older adults.
