ABSTRACT “Critical Gerontology for Social Workers” is a collection of scholarly writings, edited by Dr. Sandra Torres and Dr. Sarah Donnelly, that provides readers an overview of challenges faced by the growing older adult population using a critical gerontology lens. The book is divided into two sections that 1) provides readers with a contextual and theoretical foundation of gerontological social work and 2) applies these concepts to different practice settings to guide social workers in utilizing a critical gerontology lens in their work. Written by experts from different countries and backgrounds, this book teaches social workers how to employ a critical gerontology perspective to address issues faced by older adults, on both a macro and micro level, through research, policy, and practice.
