Publisher Synopsis
"As we extend our life spans through healthy living, we sense a growing vulnerability to cognitive impairment with each passing birthday. Harvard psychologist Douglas Powell asserts in an important new book that individuals are not pwoerless in the face of these anxieties. The author offers helpful, specific, evidence-based recommendations. The book's intended audience includes professionals, caregivers, and 3rd Agers who realize they are not aging optimally and want to do something about it. Accessible yet thorough, The Aging Intellect is a marvelous resource for boomers and non-boomers alike." - Paul Efthim, Ph.D., licensed psychologist in private practice in Brookline, MA, faculty at Boston Institute for Psychotherapy, in the New England Psychologist August/September 2011 Read more...
