Most scholars do not consider the long-term nature of caregiving,
but rather focus on a specific developmental period (e.g., old age)
or a specific disability (e.g., cancer). Yet the most important
lessons about caregiving may occur at any age, regardless of
disabilities or other limitations. Caregiving is a lifelong
process. It begins in a mother's womb, continues throughout the
lifespan, and ends after death. Caregiving Across the Lifespan
emphasizes caregiving as a process that occurs throughout one's
life. It discusses infant care, the developmental needs of children
and adolescents, the many caregiving issues in adulthood and
mid-life, and finally end-of-life care and bereavement. Key
coverage includes: Examining caregiving issues across a
developmental perspective. Caregiving from infancy through early
childhood through end of life. Mid-life and multigenerational bonds
and responsibilities. Caregiver identity in older adults. Family
caregiving at the end of life. This must-have volume offers a
wealth of insights and ideas for researchers, practitioners, and
graduate students across the caregiving fields, including
psychology, social work, public health, geriatrics and gerontology,
and medicine as well as public and education policy makers.
