Reviews

"""Grandparents have been called the band-aids that bind the generations. The many chapters in this book attest to the strengths of these grandparents while describing the many challenges they face. It is a particularly useful resource for both practitioners and policy makers who seek to support this heroic group of caregivers."" - Carole B. Cox, MSW, PhD, Professor of Social Work, Fordham University ""This timely compilation of scholarly and practical knowledge about grandparents who are caregivers offers a valuable new perspective—both positive and hopeful—on this growing population. Resilient Grandparent Caregivers will be of great value to educators, social workers, counselors, nurses, psychologists, and all who work with older adults."" - John Blando, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Counseling San Francisco State University ""In Resilient Grandparent Caregivers: A Strengths-Based Perspective, the editors successfully challenge the decades-long negative bias that has emphasized the physical, mental, and emotional difficulties experienced by grandparents raising their grandchildren. This volume presents a contemporary, fresh perspective of grandparent caregivers with a focus on their resilience and resourcefulness. The editors present a collection of multidisciplinary research in the area of grandparent caregiving that accentuates what grandparent caregivers are doing right and how they are coping positively and growing from the experience of raising a grandchild."" Christen Smith, PhD, Activities, Adaptation & Aging, 39:177–181, 2015"
