520    "When aging adults struggle with social isolation, 
       financial instability, or the difficult work of caring for
       a spouse with a chronic illness, their levels of stress 
       can be enormous. But many older adults are living longer 
       and are trying to make the best of their later years 
       despite being more vulnerable to stress. In Resilience and
       aging, renowned geriatric psychiatrist Dr. Helen Lavretsky
       explains how enhanced resiliencewhich involves positively 
       adapting to adversity in a way that maintains a person's 
       biological and psychological equilibriumcan counter that 
       vulnerability. She describes how care, practice, and 
       research all can be redirected toward emphasizing the 
       positive aspects of aging and prevention. Lavretsky 
       summarizes the most up-to-date research on resilience, 
       neurobiology, and preventive care. She also describes 
       novel interventionsincluding yoga, tai chi, meditation, 
       and allopathic techniquesthat can help older adults 
       improve their cognition and quality of life. Finally, she 
       explores relevant clinical cases from her practice. 
       Designed for geriatric practitioners, researchers, and 
       family caregivers, this practical book offers critical 
       information on measuring resilience, the role of 
       spirituality in reducing stress, and incorporating 
       resilience-building procedures into clinical practice or 
       everyday life. Throughout, the book's revolutionary 
       integrative approach aims to amplify personal happiness by
       allowing aging adults to remain healthy and active while 
       simultaneously reducing the cost of chronic disease to 
       families and society." --Publisher description.
