- catalog abstract "Addressing the impact of political, cultural, and economic elements on familial aging, this powerful work offers proactive strategies on preparing for - and coping with - this complex process. An emphasis on the diversity within families allows contributors to assay the effects of both individual and structural differences, from variations on the classic family form to such increasingly familiar departures as the gay or lesbian family. The work begins with an illustration of the normative concerns faced by the majority of aging families in our society: caregiving, institutionalization, and sibling relationships. Special populations are considered next, including victims of abuse and adults with lifelong disabilities. The third section explores the interpersonal dynamics among family members, highlighting ethnic and generational disparities. Finally, the information presented in the previous chapters is synthesized to offer a concise outline of recommended strategies and responses. Professionals and upper division students in gerontology, family studies, psychology, nursing, and social work will all benefit from this provocative volume.".
