Preliminary Typology of Couplehood for Community-Dwelling Wives: "I" versus "We."
Kaplan, Lori; And Others
International Journal of Aging & Human Development, v40 n4 p317-37 1995
Analyzes women (n=6) whose husbands reside in nursing homes, determining the extent to which these women perceive themselves as married. Some women perceive no existing couplehood with their institutionalized husbands, while others perceive low to high couplehood. Offers implications of such a typology for researchers, clinicians, and community-dwelling wives. (JPS)
