Sponsored by the AAGP Research Committee
(TICKETED EVENT)
Program Chairs: Helen Lavretsky, MD; Paul Newhouse, MD
Faculty:
Carol Ryff, PhD

and Director of the Research Center at Alhambra

It is being increasingly realized that states of stress induced by a variety
of psychological and biological factors can have deleterious effects on
the aging process and brain aging in particular. Understanding ways to
prevent or mitigate the effects of stress on aging is a top priority for
geriatric psychiatry. In this exciting Teaching Day program, distinguished
neuroscientists will discuss the effects of stress on the aging brain with
the aim of helping geriatric psychiatrists understand recent studies and
their relevance to the field, both in research and practice.
Topics discussed will include: how various dimensions of positive
functioning (e.g., self-acceptance, environmental mastery, autonomy,
etc.) change as people age, with consideration of the construct of resilience
and the question of whether the capacity to maintain or regain high
levels of well-being in the face of life adversity (including cumulative
challenges) is protective at the biological level; the effects of stress over
the human lifespan; and effects of social and psychological factors on
neuroendocrine regulation and cognitive and physical functioning.
