Product Description
Providing an integrated and thorough representation from current research and contemporary society, Family Ties and Aging shows how pressing issues of our time―an aging population, changing family structures, and new patterns of work-family balance―are negotiated in the family lives of middle-aged and older adults.
Focusing on key questions such as "How do current trends and social arrangements affect family relationships?" and "What are the implications of what we know for future research, theory, practice, and policy?" authors Ingrid Arnet Connidis and Amanda E. Barnett explore groups and relationships that are typically overlooked, including the unique family situations of older single and childless persons, sibling ties, older lesbian and gay adults, and new forms of intimate relationships. The Third Edition is thoroughly updated to include the latest research and theoretical developments, recent media coverage of related issues, and new information on intimate relationships in later life and elder neglect/abuse.
