商品簡介
For clinicians and counselors, Qualls and Williams (aging studies, psychology, and gerontology, U. of Colorado, Colorado Springs) share the caregiver family therapy model they developed with other clinicians in the Aging Families and Caregiver Program at the U. of Colorado Aging Center. They detail this systems approach to working with families that care for an aging adult, which focuses on addressing the care recipient's problem, establishing the caregiving role structures, and addressing the caregiver's self-care, as well as transition processes. They describe strategies for assessment and intervention and discuss the empirical and theoretical foundations of the therapy, each stage, clinical examples, in-depth case studies, and practical, ethical, and business issues.
