Abstract With the current population aging, the need for informal care to older people has become more apparent. In this context, filial care take on a significant role that makes caregiving a normative developmental task of middle age, assuming a double directionality: on the one hand it is directed downward (toward children), on the other hand, with the increasing vulnerability in parents, it is directed upward (Igarashi, Hooker, Coehlo, & Manoogian, 2013; Campbell, 2010; Shulman, 2005). Since middle aged children tend to assume the responsibility for older parents care, it is important to understand the way this care is processed. One dimension that, yet little studied, has been analyzed and related to filial caregiving is filial maturity (Perrig-Chiello & Sturzenegger, 2001; Cicirelli, 2000, Marcoen, 1995; Murray, Lowe, & Horne, 1995). The concept of filial maturity was introduced by Blenkner (1965) to describe a developmental stage, in which the adult child surpasses the filial crisis, understanding and accepting parents’ needs of support and comfort, and relating with them more horizontally, and out of a strictly parental role. This way, the present lecture is based in a theoretical review and aims to (1) analyze theoretical contributions on the theme filial maturity and caregiving in the relationship between middle aged children and older parents, (2) discuss the studies findings, highlighting implications for research and for filial caregiving practice improvement. A research in reference data bases, was conducted, using the terms filial maturity, caregiving, middle age, old parents, adult children. The results suggest that the overcoming of filial crisis and the consequent acceptance of parental vulnerabilities are associated with the ability to care (Hayes, & Truglio-Londrigan, 1985; Stiens, Maeck, & Stoppe, 2006).
