title: Transition into midlife.
abstract: During the midlife years, ages 35 through 65 years, women experience a series of transitions. How the transitions affect the midlife woman depends, in part, on her vision of those transitions and her strategy for dealing with them. This chapter provides a framework for understanding the transition process. In addition, it provides strategies for attenuating the psychological, physiologic, and social changes that often result with the transition into midlife.
