PDF Paper by AGTS Counseling Student: Men at Midlife: Transitional Strategies To contact a student, call or email Professor Jim Harris at 417-268-1072 or jharris@agts.edu(Posted 1/2/2002)

Men between the ages of 40 and 65 go through a period of transition from the vitality and confidence of adulthood to the more sedentary and uncertain period of later life. This is both a developmental stage and a cultural ideology. There are many stressors which make this transition difficult including physiological changes, occupational uncertainty, and family life changes. A successful transition is most possible with a passionate goal, proper diet and exercise, sufficient mental stimulation, a healthy network of male friends, and the help of a good mate.
