Abstract
This paper analyzes twelve contemporary textbooks in family sociology for their portrayal of older families and older family members. Particular attention is given to the context of discussion, the topics in which older families are included and excluded, and the emphasis and interpretations given to materials included. On the basis of this analysis, recommendations are made with regard to both the content and the context of materials on aging families in sociology textbooks, the image of older persons in texts, and the need for the utilization of specialized resource materials on older families.
