Features: Geriatric psychology examines the psychological changes of the elderly from both a physiological perspective and from various aspects such as the elderly's own cultural background, living conditions, lifestyle, as well as family and social factors. It acknowledges the inevitability of natural age growth while also highlighting the reality that psychological age does not necessarily align with it. It points out the unavoidable "losses" faced by the elderly but also emphasizes that they are not necessarily helpless when these losses occur. The main content of the book includes nine chapters: Characteristics of Elderly Sensory Perception and Coping in Nursing, Characteristics of Elderly Memory and Coping in Nursing, Characteristics of Elderly Personality and Coping, Characteristics of Elderly Temperament and Coping, and more.
