"Many of us will have to care for our aging parents while contending with the reality that we too are growing old. In [this] insightful book, Dr. Praver describes our personal and spiritual enlightenment as we reverse caretaking roles with our parents."
Gladys Guarton
"Interacting with our aging parents, and/or with our children as their aging parents, has become a quite universal life passage, still largely unexplored in the psychological literature. Dr. Praver's book discusses it from the point of view of contemporary psychoanalysis,…it would be a valuable companion to anyone navigating through the difficulties of aging within significant intergenerational relationships."
Julia A. Becker
"Dr. Praver delivers an informed and personal view of what psychology and psychiatry can offer…. Praver demystifies the process of psychotherapy and simplifies sychoanalysis, in a realistic unassuming manner for a lay public. Yet the same understandable chapters also deliver fertile, sophisticated insights for students and practicing clinicians in the field."
Bernie Siegel

Roberta Jellinek

Her many case examples are lively, evocative and her writing style is suitable to both a lay and professional audience."
