Social participation and environmental barriers among aging Canadians: Distribution and differences in gender, age and location
Authors: Daniel Naud and Mélanie Levasseur
Overview
Abstract (English)
Book summary: Classic and contemporary theories, based on evolutionary, social, and developmental perspectives, argue that humans are motivated from the very earliest days of life to seek, establish and maintain social interactions and close relationships with others. For any species with a social nature, isolation from other con-specific members is an environmental deprivation of a basic need. This book examines participation in society and the impact social isolation has on mental health.
