Parent-child relations throughout life
Karl A. Pillemer, Kathleen McCartney
1991
This work, derived from a symposium, explores the dynamic evolution of parent-child relationships across the entire lifespan, moving beyond early childhood to encompass adolescence, adulthood, and later life. It synthesizes research from developmental psychology and family studies to examine how these bonds shift, adapt, and influence individual well-being and family functioning through various developmental stages. The collection offers insights into the enduring impact of parental influence and the reciprocal nature of these relationships over time.
