    About this ebook

    American psychologists nicknamed this syndrome of the midlife crisis ‘riot of the 40-years-old’. For regret, this syndrome is of mass proportions and, despite the apparent simplicity, is very dangerous. Sometimes the midlife crisis destroys families because a person suffers from the feeling of uselessness in life and for the others, and the emotions that everything created by him/her falls apart. Sometimes such person may leave a spouse, change the job, get a risky hobby, introduce other dramatic changes in life – but alas, he doesn’t become happier after these changes. People try to rush out if this condition without thinking and gain much more severe problems. Often in such cases, they cannot cope with the situation without medical or psychological aid.

    Many people prefer not to discuss this subject. It seems improper to them. It means that not everything is well in their life, that a man was unable to establish all the relations by this time, although he’s not a boy anymore. By the way, when talking about this crisis, people usually mean men but, for regret, it may concern anyone. Indeed, one way or another, all people feel changes in life by the age of forty or fifty. Just someone is ready to admit it, and someone will do his best to escape the need to face the problem.

    By this time, any person already achieves much, and he/she already has specific roles – husband, father, wife, director, manager, etc. Much power was taken to attain this. We created our place in society, and we tried to match this organization. Very often, we spent much mental energy on forming such an image. We sacrificed much. We were ambitious; we saw our goals. They were different – to educate the child properly, to create a decent circle of close people, to climb the career ladder, etc.

    We continue asking ourselves, ‘What were my youth dreams? Will, I never have it? Will, I am able to cope with the problems pursuing me in childhood? Or did I forget them?’

      Age Crisis - Kitty Corner

      Preface

      Much has been told and written about the age crisis. Still, many people don’t take this problem seriously. As a rule, this lasts until the moment when this condition strikes the skeptics directly. It stops to be a case of irony, much spiritual strength is required to look into the problem and manage the crisis, and unfortunately, it often doesn’t bring the desired effect. It is the crisis that may lead to the severe depression, destruction of the long-term marriage. But, on the other hand, this period may become the time of self-understanding and soul-searching, and obtain practical wisdom. In this book, I suggest you are trying to realize the essence of the age crisis (especially the midlife crisis) and the ways to overcome it.

      Any psychotherapist with a more or less extended work experience can answer the question on the problems clients usually ask him to help with. As a rule, they include cheating, divorce, tension in relations with children and parents, difficulties at work and even the notorious ‘loss of the sense of life.’ And such problems are the most typical ones for people of 30-45 years: seemingly mature and successful. But, alas, very few people know that not as rarely all the complaints mentioned are different hypostases of one phenomenon, called an ‘existential crisis’ by psychologists and a ‘midlife crisis’ by journalists.

      American psychologists nicknamed this syndrome of the midlife crisis ‘riot of the 40-years-old’. For regret, this syndrome is of mass proportions and, despite the apparent simplicity, is very dangerous. Sometimes the midlife crisis destroys families because a person suffers from the feeling of uselessness in life and for the others, and the emotions that everything created by him/her falls apart. Sometimes such person may leave a spouse, change the job, get a risky hobby, introduce other dramatic changes in life – but alas, he doesn’t become happier after these changes. People try to rush out if this condition without thinking and gain much more severe problems. Often in such cases, they cannot cope with the situation without medical or psychological aid.
