| Annotation | Gerontological research provides sufficient evidence of the central role of families in the lives of older people. Whether dependent or independent, older people experience families as integral to daily life and well-being. Even so, the application of family therapy techniques and theories to ageing families has been slow to emerge. Family therapy models that consider the structure or functioning of the family are rarely discussed as being relevant to older people. This paper discusses the rationale for family therapy in later life, using one common life process, cognitive deterioration, to illustrate the conditions under which family therapy would be the treatment of choice.
