Handbook of Aging and the Family e-bog

No other reference provides such a comprehensive and timely overview of theory and research on family relationships, the contexts of family life, and major turning points in late-life families. It includes many suggestions for theoretical and practical applications for future research on a score of important topics. This multidisciplinary survey is an invaluable library reference and teaching resource intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and practitioners - for gerontologists, family scholars, psychologists, sociologists, historians, social workers, health-care providers, and policy makers.
