| Annotation | The first National Gerontological Social Work Conference (NGSWC) was held in Atlanta, Georgia in 2003, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). This collection comprises 29 papers resulting from presentations at the Conference, in which education is the overarching theme. Most of the papers relate to developing the social work curriculum, while others focus on special populations and issues on ageing such as intergenerational concerns, advocacy, end-of-life care and elder abuse. Other themes covered are religiousness and spirituality, grief counselling, mental health services, "ageing enrichment", grandparents in kinship care, and minority ethnic groups. The final paper considers enhancing social workers' culturally competent ageing-related knowledge. This collection has been co-published simultaneously as Journal of Gerontological Social Work, vol 48, nos 1/2, 2006, and 3/4, 2007. (RH). |
