Abstract
This paper discusses family work with older adults by exploring some o f the related literature published since Herr and Weakland's work in 1 979, and compares psychoeducational and systems-based approaches to wo rk with later life families. Issues of bias and omissions in the exist ing literature, and the definition of family therapy with this client group are raised. Areas for future research are indicated.
