"The first lecture of the new School of Psychology Public Lecture Series will be with guest speaker, Dr Bob G. Knight, honorary professor in the School of Psychology at UQ and international affiliate of the UQ Ageing Mind Initiative. Bob is the Merle H. Bensinger Professor of Gerontology and Professor of Psychology at the Andrus Gerontology Center, University of Southern California, USA. He is an acclaimed researcher in clinical psychology, having published numerous articles and books on interventions for late-life depression, mental health policy and training in clinical psychology.
Bob will be speaking about an exciting new direction his research has taken, namely ageing and the acquisition of wisdom. It is widely believed that wisdom comes with age, but not all older adults are wiser. Many older adults become adept at handling life`s challenges, yet barriers to ageing abound, including ageism, physical changes and mental health concerns."
