Publisher's Description
By the year 2000 more than half of mainline Protestants will be over the age of sixty. Older adults have special needs to which many pastors are not adequately prepared to minister. Pastoral Care of Older Adults addresses such problems, many of which were identified in an extensive survey of clergy. The book provides practical guidance for parish pastors, and other counselors, to deal with such issues as Alzheimer's disease, the chronically ill, relocation, health crises, grief, depression, anxiety, gender differences, poverty, and the issues faced by the children of older adults.

“This volume suggests practical, effective ways that pastors as well as congregations and communities can be involved in ministry with older adults and their families. I regard this book as a welcome and important contribution to the growing body of literature on pastoral care with the aging.”
