Reviews

"“Finding Meaning in Later Life is a work of scholarship that is primarily addressed to the author’s colleagues in professional practice. But Nimmer writes with such clarity, grace and depth of feeling that she reaches far beyond both her generation and her profession and speaks powerfully to readers of all ages and backgrounds.""— Jonathan Kirsch, Jewish Journal"


Author Information

Marcia Nimmer received her Psy.D. from Pacifica Graduate Institute and was previously a licensed clinical social worker. She is currently working as a psychotherapist at the Wright Institute in Los Angeles. As a woman in her late fifties who began doctoral studies after raising five children, she became interested in the developmental stage that lies between midlife and old age. Her qualitative research on the subject of finding meaning in later life emerged as an outgrowth of her own personal journey.
