Caring for people with disabilities often becomes an
all-encompassing responsibility for one or more family members. To
manage the multifaceted demands, caregivers must possess strong
multitasking skills, including the ability to assist with daily
life tasks; provide emotional support; help with financial affairs;
mediate and advocate with health care providers. Maintaining
balance within their own lives can become incredibly challenging
for caregivers. More often than not, providing care for family
members or loved ones occurs at the expense of the caregivers'
well-being. And for caregivers who themselves have disabilities, it
further complicates matters. Multiple Dimensions of Caregiving and
Disability addresses concerns that have been long familiar to the
caregiver population and examines the current state of family care
for individuals with disabilities. With a lifespan perspective,
this concise reference reviews the literature on specific problems
of caregivers and explores which care strategies are effective,
promising, or lacking in available resources and support
interventions. Contributors also explore the more fluid and
subjective aspects of caregiving, such as feelings, spirituality,
and family roles. Suggestions for future policy improvements,
particularly within the public health sector, are discussed as
well. Topics covered include: * Family dynamics and caregiving for
people with disabilities. * Parent caregiving of children with
disabilities. * Race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and
caregiving. * Educational, training, and support programs for
caregivers. * Emerging technologies to aid caregivers. * Developing
partnerships between caregivers and health care providers. Multiple
Dimensions of Caregiving and Disability is a must-have resource for
researchers, scientist-practitioners, policy makers, and graduate
students across such disciplines as clinical psychology, nursing,
social work, public health, medicine, and social and education
policy.
