Description
This book is based on the oral testimony of 63 elderly people who, in the course of relating their life stories, told of their friendships from childhood to old age. Friendships Through the Life Course provides conceptual insight into the meaning and process of friendship in the context of people's lives. It also demonstrates the importance of looking at individuals, particularly elderly people, within a biographical framework.
