Rethinking the Aging Transition: Psychological, Health, and Social Principles to Guide Aging Well has academic value from a multicultural perspective that would be of benefit to graduate and undergraduate students in gerontology and other disciplines that study aging and older adult populations. With the main aim of raising awareness, this book is an important resource for a diverse group of populations globally, including clinical and non-clinical caregivers, other health(care) professionals, and policy-makers.
Kallol Kumar Bhattacharyya, MBBS, MA, PhD (Candidate) is a physician gerontologist with a general interest in providing older adults with more holistic health care that maximizes their quality of life. He worked as a family physician in India for nearly two decades. As a mid-life career changer, he completed his master's degree in Gerontology from Georgia State University, USA. Dr. Bhattacharyya is currently researching dementia at the School of Aging Studies, University of South Florida (Tampa), USA, where he is a doctoral candidate and undergraduate instructor. He expects to complete his PhD in Spring 2022. His research interests include mindfulness activities to improve the quality of life of persons with dementia, improvement of health policy for older adults, longevity, and healthy aging. Dr. Bhattacharyya is particularly focused on some alternative therapeutic interventions for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia. He is also working on the individualized care provided in institutional settings, especially nursing homes, and is interested in investigating how residents’ satisfaction levels and subsequent complaints (if any) help identify flaws in the care delivery system.
