商品簡介
Male caregiver is not an oxymoron according to Kramer (social work, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) and Thompson (sociology, Holy Cross College). They compile 16 chapters reflecting increased academic attention to care-giving men as a neglected but critical segment of health care--particularly for older and AIDS patient populations. Contributors discuss theoretical and methodological issues, gender-sensitive interventions, and help dispel stereotypes. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
