Handbook of families and aging

Rosemary Blieszner, Victoria Hilkevitch Bedford

"This book is both an updated version of and a complement to the original Handbook of aging and the family. 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."--
