Mindcrafting: How to Mentor Your Ageing Mind

Drivers for depression and poor mental health in older people abound in our society, whether they be reduced expectations
for later years or suggestions that older people should simply disappear and withdraw from all activities. While society may superficially value successful ageing, there is a lack of help when it comes to its achievement. It is a lose-lose situation for the
individual and for society at large. Many older people lower their personal expectations of life in accordance with society's expectations and it is little wonder that many experience depression and other forms of mental illness.

Doctor Declan Lyons has trained in the Human Givens set of organising ideas around the genesis of emotional and
psychological distress. Mindcrafting: How to Mentor Your Ageing Mind applies the principles to older people and
publicises their benefit and utility to a wide audience.
