Given medical advances and greater understanding of healthful
living habits, people are living longer lives. Proportionally
speaking, a greater percentage of the population is elderly.
Despite medical advances, there is still no cure for dementia, and
as elderly individuals succumb to Alzheimer's Disease or related
dementia, more and more people are having to care their elderly
parents and /or siblings. Profiles in Caregiving is practical
source of information for anyone who teaches caregiving, acts as a
caregiver, or studies caregiving.
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.
