Encompassing the findings of a new research study on baby boomer spirituality, the book presents a wider and more comprehensive view of ageing and spirituality, concluding that spirituality for the baby boomer generation is every bit as important as for the cohorts before them, but also fundamentally different, with fewer being practicing members of a religious faith. Drawing on in-depth interviews with older people, and containing many new ideas whilst also addressing the foundational theories and questions essential to scholarship in this field, the book also includes a new and timely chapter on the spirituality of older people in our increasingly multicultural and multifaith societies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis clear and practical text presents much-needed guidance for health and social care practitioners, chaplains, clergy and others seeking to identify and support the spiritual needs of older people, as well as students and researchers in related disciplines.","brand":"Jessica Kingsley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":39305627271329,"sku":"9781785920721","price":43.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/7959\/3121\/products\/9781785920721-original.jpg?v=1770372216"},{"product_id":"personalisation-and-dementia","title":"Personalisation and Dementia","description":"Personalisation builds on person-centred care to focus on how people with dementia can have more choice and control over decisions affecting them, and be supported to be part of their communities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis practical guide explains how to deliver personalised services and support for people with dementia through simple, evidence-based person-centred practices.
