Cheryl A. Kuba proposes an entirely unique approach to this aspect of gerontology: expressing the voices of care-receivers themselves. The dependent elderly are a wealth of information, Kuba discovers, and if we listen to them, we will be better able to help them. The 22.4 million elderly people being cared for in the United States comprise the fastest growing segment of the population, making the discovery of new approaches to care-giving more important than ever. This book draws on numerous interviews with aging people, and will discuss common care-giver mistakes and misinterpretations, what a care-giver should expect when an aging parent moves in, and how to care for an aging parent from afar. The book includes helpful resources for those caring for an aging parent in a variety of situations. Kuba explains such phenomena as guilt, role reversal, changing family dynamics, financial stress, and caring for oneself while caring for another. She also addresses the gendering of care-giving and the myth that Americans abandon the elderly. 650 0 $a Aging parents $x Care 650 0 $a Parent and adult child. 650 6 $a Parents aÌgeÌs $x Soins. 650 6 $a Parents et enfants adultes. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0519/2005024513.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0654/2005024513-d.html 939 $a 5766735 941 $a 4 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528052255.0 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926085946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C5D7227C2B0E11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b ION 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
