About This Item
Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A.: Alyson Publications, 1999. Trade Paperback. Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Isensee, a clinical social worker and psychotherapist who has focused specifically on the psychological development of gay men in such books as Love Between Men: Enhancing Intimacy and Keeping Your Relationship Alive (Alyson, 1996), here hopes to "help gay men counter oppressive stereotypes about growing older, affirm a positive midlife identity, and grapple more successfully with these changes." Buttressing his account with excerpts from in-depth interviews with ten gay men of various backgrounds aged 37 to 50, he discusses changes in identity, physicality and sexuality, mortality, spirituality, and relationships. As a description of some men's experience, the observations and anecdotes, if not profound, make for engaging reading, supplementing such works as Gay Men and Aging (Garland, 1997), Gay Midlife and Maturity (Haworth, 1990), and Raymond Berger's Gay and Gray (Harrington Park, 1996). 196 pages..
