The numbers of elderly people from ethnic groups within Britain is rising rapidly as postwar immigrants age. Ethnic elders face problems owing to age-associated increased risks of common chronic diseases, racial discrimination, and poor access to many health services and social services. This disadvantage will be alleviated through increased understanding of health beliefs held by ethnic elders and ensuring better access to services through mechanisms such as employment of more staff from ethnic minority groups in senior positions, better training of staff, and more appropriate and sensitive environments. The myths that family care is sufficient, that no use of services implies no need, and that assimilation into the majority population will occur must be discounted.

Family therapists often consider culture and religion when a family's background or beliefs are different from their own. This article explores some issues which may arise in family therapy when the family and the therapist come from the same culture or religion (in this particular case, Judaism), especially when this culture is a minority in society.
Incorporating diversity: meaning, levels of research, and implications for theory
- Author:
- CALASANTI Toni M.
- Journal article citation:
- Gerontologist, 36(2), April 1996, pp.147-156.
- Publisher:
- Oxford University Press
Incorporating diverse experiences into gerontological theory, research, and practice is necessary for understanding the lives of all old people, and not only 'special groups'. Explains how incorporating diversity exposes the power relations constitutive of lived experiences. Uses examples of retirement research to demonstrate that starting with the voices of those with less power renders a more complete view of social reality. Concludes by noting that a more inclusive approach forces us to see all ageing experiences not as determined but rather as fluid, dialectical, contextual - and changeable through human actions.
