| Annotation | Various expressions of intimacy in late life are discussed: intimacy in romantic and sexual relationships; sibling and friend relationships; intergenerational relationships; and ties with caregivers not related to the family. Challenges to intimacy - chronic pain, mental health problems, and bereavement - are examined. A final section contains applied essays on intimacy: the effects of the loss of a spouse to Alzheimer's disease (AD); a counsellor offering resources for gay and lesbian couples; a veterinary surgeon on the value of companion animals; a nurse commenting on the value of life review; and a psychologist describing the influence of electronic technology on intimate relationships.
