Families and Aging : A Selected, Annotated Bibliography Hardback
by Jean M. Coyle
Part of the Bibliographies and Indexes in Gerontology series
Hardback
Description
Families have become an increasingly important source of support for the elderly, and gerontologists are directing more and more attention to older adults and their families.
This bibliography reviews the most significant works on families and aging published within the past ten years.
Jean Coyle has selected and annotated nearly 800 books, articles, films, dissertations, and government documents.
The detailed annotations summarize and evaluate the significance and usefulness of each item, and the comprehensive author and subject indexes make this volume a valuable reference tool. A thoughtful introduction surveys the most noteworthy research on families and aging done in the last decade.
This is followed by eleven chapters, that address such topics as widowhood, intergenerational relationships, family caregiving, and the role of older adults in ethnic and minority families.
Gerontologists, social workers, and all those interested in families and aging will find this guide an indispensable source of information.
