Abstract
Elderly people receive significant amounts of advice from their adult children (Keith, 1983), and families are actively and centrally involved in decision making about elders' care and lives (High, 1988; Hooyman & Lustbader, 1986; Lynne, 1988; Moody, 1985; Pratt, Jones, Shin, & Walker, 1989; Pratt, Schmall, & Wright, 1987). Many professionals, including counselors and health and social service providers, often work with aging families at decision points. Problem solving and decision making are frequently the focal issues in family counseling and consultation with aging families. In addition, improved family problem solving and decision making are important goals in many aging family caregiver education programs (Hooyman & Lustbader, 1986). This work can benefit from these professionals' understanding the nature of decision-making interactions in late life families.
