You and Your Aging Parent, originally published in 1976, was the
first book to focus on the relationship between adult children and
their aging parents. By noted gerontologist Barbara Silverstone and
writer Helen Kandel Hyman, it turned the spotlight on the
challenges faced by many adult children as they attempt to cope
when elderly relatives need increasing support. Since the last
edition of the book in 1989, numerous other books on the topic have
entered the market, but most of them are superficial in the
information and advice they provide to their readers and in the
one-note assumptions about the parent-child relationship in the
senior years. Moreover, programs and services for older people have
changed significantly and become more comlex; a new generation of
adult children and their parents are facing the challenges of
aging, and recent research findings have deepened our understanding
of the aging process and late life. This revised edition, marking
its 30th anniversary, will address the changes that have taken
place and revive its fundamental insight - that the difficulties
and challenges of the aging process are as much a family affair as
in any other phase of life and that the nature of the relationship
between aging parents and their adult children will directly
influence how the process is navigated. The size of the senior
class is growing exponentially, including parents who are living
longer than any older generation in history and baby boomers who
are reluctantly entering the senior class, as well as countless
younger sons and daughters wondering what's coming next. This new
and updated edition will answer their need for authoritative,
practical information about this major new phase of life.
Playwright and New York Times columnist Bob Morris joins the book
as commentator, adding his own entertaining insights as a member of
the baby boom generation dealing with his own elderly parents' late
life.
