'In substance, as in style, the writing is relatively abstruse in nature. Discerning review of selected research evidence, in tandem with a case-study method of instruction, imbue the text with great didactic richess. By these means, the terrain of mental health and later life, including its practice, policy and research strata is illumined brightly with rays of thoughtful perspicacity.' - Leo Uzych, Activities, Adaptation and Aging Journal 2012
