Ageing Baby Boomers
The baby boomers have come of age – the first cohort born in 1946 is now 65 years old. This book is, in essence, a quantitative and qualitative study of the collective experiences of the lives of 40 young lads in a small Malaysian town who were from the same school in 1964, and another group of baby boomers in Singapore. Written from an Asian perspective by Professor Kua Ee-Heok, its pervasive themes are mental resilience, the ethical mind and life satisfaction.

Mental Healthcare of the Elderly contains some of these new ideas and is a primer for health professionals who are involved in the care of elderly people with mental health problems like depression and dementia.
