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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zeev Ben-Sira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275940780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275940782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 6.42w x 0.70d","brand":"Zeev Ben-Sira","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241026334975,"sku":"9780275940782","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6833e482-5ac8-4b6d-bec7-e288b8731c7d.jpg?v=1772652432","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/regression-stress-and-readjustment-in-zeev-ben-sira-9780275940782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
