Moving beyond simply describing the differences between
custodial and noncustodial grandparents, this volume places helping
efforts with grandparents in theoretical, empirical, and pragmatic
contexts. Stressing the importance of theoretically grounded
interventions and empirically-based studies for the design,
implementation, and funding of programs, the chapters define an
"action-oriented" approach toward changing the lives of
grandparents and their grandchildren. Topics include: In what ways
do support groups help; Caring for children with developmental
disabilities; Predictors of psychological distress; Building
parenting skills; and Strategies for solving everyday problems,
among others.
