Abstract The movement of the baby boomers into the middle ages made the 45-65 age cohort the largest and the fastest growing segment of population in the first decade of the 21st century. This demographic expansion will have multiple consequences for ageing society. This paper aimed to provide an overview on biology of midlife transition. Physical characteristics, midlife-specific morbidity and mortality were described with focus to sexual dimorphism in physique and gender gap in mortality and morbidity. These characteristics made midlife a separate and unique stage of life. In-depth knowledge of this life stage may be useful in identifying and solving problems of ageing individuals and population.

This article explores the use of The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM) to support 8 women as they struggled with the challenges of midlife. Unconscious forces can reach a critical mass at midlife and the Self is summoned to search for a new psychological identity. Case study data from 49 standard GIM sessions conducted over a 22 month period was pooled, analysed and reviewed for commonalities in imagery. This was a convenience sample based on clients attending a private practice in Sydney, Australia. The examination of the reported imagery discovered a number of emergent themes: 1) Land of death and darkness; 2) Betwixt and Between 3) Encounters with the Shadow, Archetypes and Helpers; 4) The Body and 5) Looking Forward.Keywords: midlife, guided imagery and music (Bonny Method)German An der Kreuzungen in der Mitte des Lebens: auf der Reise des Midlife-Übergangsmit Guided Imagery and Music  Louise Terry-ClarkDieser Artikel untersucht die Arbeit mit der Bonny Methode der Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM), 8 Frauen während ihrer Kämpfe in der Midlife-Krise zu unterstützen. In dieser Zeit können unbewusste Kräfte ein kritisches Maß erreichen, und das Selbst ist gefordert, eine neue psychologische Identität zu suchen.

The study was conducted in response to the need for an increased understanding of the aging experiences of women transitioning midlife. The purpose of the research was to explore the personal understanding of the changes that occur during the midlife period. A qualitative case study was implemented to ascertain how women of the Latter-day Saint (LDS) faith experience the midlife transition. The narratives of 10 LDS women ages 35 to 65 were obtained through personal interviews. The data were analyzed from a feminist, social constructionist, and narrative perspective using Chenail’s Qualitative Matrix as a formal coding system to guide the process of analysis and reporting (Col e, 1994). The findings indicate that the younger cohort had inner conflict s; those in the middle age cohort experienced role confusion; and the oldest cohort experienced generativity. These findings may suggest that a positive metamorphosis takes place in women during the midlife transition.
