Description
Brubaker focuses on family relationships during the later stages of the family life cycle, and reviews research studies on family patterns in later life. The author concludes that the `later life family' is alive and well, but that it necessarily reflects the changes and problems associated with ageing. He identifies the aspects of family relationships that require support and assistance and suggests future solutions for providing such support.
