This comprehensive reference in family gerontology reviews and
critiques the recent theoretical, empirical, and methodological
literature; identifies future research directions; and makes
recommendations for gerontology professionals. This book is both an
updated version of and a complement to the original Handbook of
Families and Aging. The many additions include the most recent
demographic changes on aging families, new theoretical
formulations, innovative research methods, recent legal issues, and
death and bereavement, as well as new material on the relationships
themselves-sibling, partnered, and intergenerational relationships,
for example. Among the brand-new topics in this edition are
step-family relationships, aging families and immigration, aging
families and 21st-century technology, and peripheral family ties.
Unlike the more cursory summaries found in textbooks, the essays
within Handbook of Families and Aging, Second Edition provide
thoughtful, in-depth coverage of each topic. No other book 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. Nevertheless, the contents
are written to be engaging and accessible to a broad audience,
including advanced undergraduate students, graduate students,
researchers, and gerontology practitioners. Serious lay readers
will also find this book highly informative about contemporary
family issues. Comprises 23 chapters of all-original work covering
background information, relationships, contexts of family life, and
turning points such as retirement and divorce Contributions from 46
distinguished scholars recognized as leading experts in their
fields Citations for cutting-edge research on each topic, plus
foundational references in new areas A detailed topic index
