This insightful, research-driven book offers practical advice to older adults seeking new intimate relationships, lasting friendships, and better relationships with family members and children.Written to appeal to men as well as women, Mature Friendships, Love, and Romance: A Practical Guide to Intimacy for Older Adults is a serious book about love, romance, intimacy, and sexuality, as well as friendship and family. It is about what happens when older adults lack close relationships and about practical ways to address that isolation and loneliness. Through personal stories and vignettes, readers will see how notions of friendship, intimacy, and love change as we age, what mature love is, and what factors can make it challenging. Among the topics discussed are late-life divorces and breakups of long-term relationships; finding new and intimate friendships; resolving problems with adult children that can emerge when you enter a new, loving relationship; and choosing activities to increase your pool of potential friends and mates. Internet dating is addressed, as are the general thoughts and actions of happy people who agree life can start at 60.

Recenzii

Glicken (Arizona State University) integrates vignettes from real people, in their own words, as he discusses issues of romance, intimacy, sexuality, friendships, and family in the lives of older adults. Late-life divorces and breakups, problems with adult children, and choosing activities to increase your pool of potential friends and mates are some areas explored. The author also gives advice on dealing with later-life anxiety and depression, alcohol and drug abuse, and steering clear of people who are physically and emotionally abusive. The book is written to appeal to men as well as women, with a chapter devoted to men's relationship problems.
