This book offers therapists guidance in helping multigenerational families with older members understand and cope with the myriad challenges they face. The authors translate the aging process from an abstract, nebulous concept into a concrete stage of life with its own struggles and opportunities and examine the intergenerational impact of aging. Full consideration is given to issues such as confronting death; life validation; life review; exoneration, forgiveness, and healing in the family; and balancing obligations and entitlements.
