Description:
Building on the work of the previous volumes in the Sex and Intimacy in Later Life series, this book explores how resexualisation may take place in later life.
Drawing on transdisciplinary and international content, it provides a theoretically and experientially informed overview and discussion of resexualisation, highlighting important areas of research in a nascent area of study.
This volume covers a range of sexual identities and ageing populations, blending cultural representations and current research to highlight the possible forms and practices that can lead to the creative enabling of pleasure.
Brief description: Ricardo Iacub is Professor of Psychology and Director of the Postgraduate Programme in the Psychology of Ageing at the University of Buenos Aires.
Review Quotes: 'This publication makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the various intersections and issues surrounding older adult sexuality, particularly in relation to civic and civil attitudes that are negative and outdated. The editors have produced a well-researched and inspiring narrative with crucial policy and practice implications. They, along with the contributors, deserve congratulations. This is essential reading, without a doubt.' Mervyn Eastman, Later Life Audio and Radio Co-operative and The Co-operative Guild of Social and Community Workers
