Marriage at Midlife: Counseling Strategies and Analytical Tools

"Marriage at Midlife "provides counselors, mental health professionals, and marriage educators with the tools they need to understand and assist couples who are experiencing the challenges and opportunities of the post-childrearing years. This unique book is enriched with quotes from hundreds of interviews with couples married 20-50 years. Unlike most guidebooks on marriage counseling, this book addresses the dynamics of married life after the empty nest, the period now being lived by some 50 million baby boomers. Written by a pair of veteran researchers and communication educators, "Marriage at Midlife" identifies the communication processes that hinder and help couples during an important period of life transition.
