Summary
"This volume brings together the research and theory on friendship that has developed over the last two decades. Each chapter reviews, summarizes, integrates and elaborates on a specific aspect of the literature. The focus is on older adult friendship but the theoretical and methodological issues will be of interest to those who study social relationships at all stages of the life course. Together, the contributors communicate the importance of studying the interplay between structure and process in older adult friendship."--Publisher's description.
