Annotation

This new and advanced textbook provides an integrated and thorough representation of what we know from the current research. Whereas books on families and aging have traditionally focused on ties to a spouse and to children and grandchildren, this Second Edition of Family Ties & Aging is more extensive and more reflective of contemporary society. This text includes groups and relationships that typically receive short shrift, exploring such neglected populations as single, divorced, and childless older people and their family relationships, as well as sibling relationships among the elderly, live-in partnerships not formalized by marriage, and the kinds of family ties forged by gay and lesbian persons over the life course. This Second Edition weaves the vast range of information we now have about the many facets of family relationships and aging into a critical, comprehensive, and integrated whole. New to the Second EditionUpdated chapters include research and theoretical developments in the field since publication of the First EditionMedia coverage of related issues will be part of this updated edition New topics are covered, such as: Intimate relationships in later life; Gay and lesbian partnerships; Sibling ties; Elder neglect/abuse; and Theoretical developmentsThe entire book has been edited to further enhance its readability

Intended Audience: Family Ties & Aging, Second Edition is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses such as Families & Aging, Sociology of Aging, or Introduction to Gerontology in Family Studies, Sociology, or Gerontology departments.
