This guide offers a reflection on ageing, presenting an approach that places the older person at the centre in their entirety: body, emotions, relationships, personal history and needs.
Through a theoretical framework and numerous field experiences, the volume explores the role of psychomotricity in later life as a care practice grounded in listening and relationships. It addresses different intervention contexts: from healthy ageing to situations of frailty, from neurodegenerative conditions to caregiver support. Alongside theoretical insights, the book provides methodological guidance, practical suggestions and reflections on professional practice, offering concrete tools for those working in the field of care.
