PDF Paper by AGTS Counseling Student: Understanding Single Men at Mid-life: Developmental Implications To contact a student, call or email Professor Jim Harris at 417-268-1072 or jharris@agts.edu. (Posted 12/27/2001)

There are many reasons for being single. The male who is at mid-point in life may be single for various reasons, including divorce, death, separation, religion, vocation, and interpersonal / developmental issues. Regardless of the cause, the single male has social, developmental, and relational issues to address and overcome. An increased awareness of how one develops at this stage in life is important if understanding is to be gained. The information in this study should not be interpreted as stating single status as a condition or an illness, nor is this research intended to be a how to guide; rather, it is intended to increase insight into developmental causation. The single male is a sum of his development. It is possible to live a healthy and fulfilled life as a single person provided that developmental issues are addressed and dealt with appropriately.
