This book discusses recent research on stress factors associated with caregiving, and what factors impact on successful versus non-successful adaptation to the care-giving role. This is an expanding field in gerontology, and is also of interest to personality and social psychologists studying stress and interpersonal relations. Although there are many books on the cause and treatment of dementia, there has been a book that provides a research investigation into the factors associated with effective caregiving to dementia patients.
- Conceptualizes caregiving as a multistage career whose impact on the caregiver continues to be felt after in-home care has ceased
- Based upon a longitudinal survey of a demographically diverse sample of principal caregivers over a three-year period
- Identifies caregivers who are most at-risk for adverse adaptation to the role
- Describes preventative and clinical intervention strategies
- Identifies post-care risk and issues
- Identifies antecedents to successful adaptation
- State of the art analytic techniques
- Graphic presentation of empirical findings
- Renowned multidisciplinary research team
Zielgruppe
Audience: Gerontological researchers, mental health practitioners, research professionals in clinical and counseling psychology, and individuals who currently, or expect to care for someone with dementia.
