Habits such as regular exercise are well known to be linked to better health in older adults. Far less is understood about behaviors that contribute to the optimally aging mind. This may be a reason why only about 25% of elders meet the standards for optimal cognitive aging. The Aging Intellect describes more than a dozen specific characteristics that distinguish older people who remain cognitively vigorous from the majority who are aging normally or are at risk for cognitive impairment. In addition, this book provides professionals with evidence-based recommendations that can help their aging patients and clients minimize the effects of predictable cognitive changes and more fully use their mental abilities. The Aging Intellect is also written for people of all ages interested in maximizing their cognitive vigor. Dr. Powell has encouraging words for those who know they are not aging optimally, but are willing to modify one or two habits that can improve their mental powers.
Richly illustrated with clinical examples and case studies, The Aging Intellect includes topics rarely discussed in book form.
Douglas H. Powell, Ed.D., ABPP, is a Clinical Instructor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School and a Consultant in Psychology at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts. He has worked with older people as a therapist, teacher and researcher for more than two decades. Author of two previous books on aging, he is also the co-author of MicroCog, a computerized test designed to diagnose mild cognitive impairment. The Aging Intellect evolved from the author’s lecture notes for students in his classes at Harvard and at Florida Gulf Coast University.
