Reviews

Focusing on the services available to family caregivers within the extended family, the community, and the government, the author also stresses the reciprocal nature of the relationship between elderly individuals and their families. This presents a refreshing contrast to existing literature that often focuses on the elderly only as recipients of care. Overall, this is a very well written look at the relationship between elderly members and their families, with a balance of qualitative and quanitative studies.. <br>-CHOICE, December 2001 <br>
