Acculturating Age: Approaches to Cultural Gerontology

Acculturation consists in the exchange of behavioral patterns, perceptions and ideas between groups of individuals with differing cultural origins. This book, which has been created by a global team of specialists in different disciplines, focuses on the ageing process. This text establishes a comparison that takes into account dependence systems, mediation techniques, empathy, social understanding and cultural attitudes towards individuals who experience any stage of the ageing process.
