520    The aging experience demands continuous adaptation to 
       changing physical, psychological, and social capacities. 
       Research has focused primarily on the personal and family 
       relationships that are vital during this time. Offering an
       important new perspective, this book emphasizes a set of 
       factors often ignored in the literature - personality 
       characteristics and ways of relating that can enable the 
       older adult to become an active agent in shaping his or 
       her own life. Reviewing recent research and theory, the 
       authors focus on relationships important to life 
       enhancement in later years - from friendship, family, and 
       coresidents in shared housing, to care givers, health-care
       providers, and social agency personnel - and illustrate 
       how an older individual's rational competence can make a 
       critical difference in initiating and maintaining these 
       relationships. Establishing a context, initial chapters 
       describe the nature of aging and the experiences of loss, 
       decline, and adaptation. Models of coping and adaptation 
       are presented and the influence of personal relationships 
       is examined. How these relationships function both as 
       important sources of logistical, social, and psychological
       support and as sources of conflict, tension, and stress is
       discussed. The authors then propose a model - 
       interpersonal contexts of old age - which permits an 
       integrative analysis of the categories of interpersonal 
       settings with respect to the coping or adaptational 
       demands placed on older adults. The latter half of the 
       book is devoted to the construct of relational competence.
       Chapters examine components of the construct and how they 
       can be measured, as well as present social and clinical 
       interventions. The proposed relational competence model is
       explicated with a detailed description of the 
       interpersonal characteristics it encompasses and the 
       functions they serve in the initiation and enhancement of 
       significant relationships. The research on ways in which 
       relational competence shapes and influences the quality of
       human relationships and enhanced functioning in other 
       areas of later life is presented. Finally, social and 
       clinical interventions that can enhance an older person's 
       social functioning and personal coping resources are 
       described. Drawing from a range of disciplines, this book 
       is intended for researchers and practitioners in the 
       fields of gerontology, psychology, sociology, family 
       relations, personal relationships, social work, and 
       nursing. Written in an accessible style, it also serves as
       a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses 
       that explore the lives of aging adults.
