ecology of mental health in later life  

Definición

  • The ecology of mental health refers to the interrelationships among individual well-being and the layers of contexts that surround humans. The study of the impact of environments on individual functioning and well-being in later life was launched by Lawton's (1984) model of environmental press, which suggests that an optimal amount of environmental challenge is critical for the well-being of older adults, whereas excessive challenge leads to premature loss of autonomy.
