The model is aimed at understanding the conditions under which age sets into motion a process of degeneration. Accumulating evidence suggests that age per se is not the decisive factor in age-related regression--leading scholars to distinguish between chronological and functional age. The process of degeneration is evidently due to the combined impact of deleterious biophysiological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors and the interaction among them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on this evidence, Zeev Ben-Sira shows how age-related degeneration can be viewed as a product of a damaging cycle of reciprocally activating stimuli from the person's internal and external environment. Consequently, aging is conceptualized as a process of bio-psychosocial regression. The paradigm outlined in this volume identifies factors that are likely to accelerate or decelerate the process of aging.","brand":"Praeger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086016864407,"sku":"9780275940782","price":7641.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780275940782.webp?v=1767265656","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/regression-stress-and-readjustment-in-aging-a-structured-bio-psychosocial-perspective-on-coping-and-professional-support-9780275940782","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
