Abstract: As a psychotherapist who focuses on working with the issues that challenge midlife and older men, Robert Schwalbe feels that the 60s and beyond can be the most rewarding or the most miserable period in a man's life. In particular, how a man adapts to being in his 60s is an indicator of how he feels about living the rest of his life.--[book jacket].
