In the book Psychology of Aging, Sara J. Margolin redefines the way we think about the fact that we grow older. Through a biopsychosocial perspective, the author introduces today's reader to the study of adulthood and aging, offering a holistic examination of the impact these have on the body, mind, relationships, and our social roles.

Using an innovative "myth versus facts" approach, the text debunks common misconceptions with humor and compassion, based on well-founded research. Emphasis is placed on the real processes and adjustments during aging, allowing readers to gain knowledge applicable not only to their future careers but also in family and personal life contexts.
