Annotation	The social work profession in the US has been slow to demonstrate discernible interest in the needs of the growing numbers of older Americans and their families. This book has been co-published simultaneously as Journal of Gerontological Social Work, vol 36, nos 3/4, 2001, and developed to stimulate the ongoing dialogue regarding the role, status and potential of gerontological social work in an ageing society. Subjects include: multiculturalism and social policy; gerontological social work practice from a Canadian perspective; long-term care insurance in Japan; mental health services policy; health care and residential settings; elder abuse; work with older African Americans; empowerment-oriented social work; and death and dying.
