Family members provide the majority of care for individuals with
disabilities in the United States. Recognition is growing that
family caregiving deserves and may require societal support, and
evidence-based practices have been established for reducing stress
associated with caregiving. Despite the substantial research
literature on family support that has developed, researchers,
advocates and professionals have often worked in separate
categorical domains such as family support for caregiving for the
frail elderly, for individuals with mental illness, or for people
with development disabilities.
Family Support and Family Caregiving across Disabilities
addresses this significant limitation through cross-categorical and
lifespan analyses of family support and family caregiving from the
perspectives of theory and conceptual frameworks, empirical
research, and frameworks and recommendations for improvements in
public policy. The book also examines children with disabilities,
children with autism, adults with schizophrenia, and individuals
with cancer across the life cycle.
This book was published as a two-part special issue in the
Journal of Family Social Work.
