"In this insightful book, Neil Thompson and Gerry R. Cox highlight the detrimental effects and pervasiveness of ageist stereotypes, structures and practices. Stressing the importance of dignity in later-life care, they provide a well-informed basis for understanding the complexities of ageing and challenge ageist assumptions. Age and Dignity proposes a professional practice that not only avoids ageism, but also actively contributes to developing anti-ageist frameworks. Substantially building on key earlier work and the authors' in-depth experience in care, ageing and bereavement, it provides a detailed overview of the processes and sociology of ageing and how these are affected by cultural differences. Successfully blending theory and practice, chapters examine various physical, psychological and social problems encountered when working with older people that can serve as a barrier to dignity, as well as how care duties can be carried out to ensure the respect of the ageing individual when dealing with issues such as dementia and grief. This practical yet scholarly book is an invigorating read for students and scholars of sociology, discrimination and gerontology. It will also appeal to anyone working with older people in any capacity, including health, social care and housing"--
