| Annotation | This book integrates a number of theories and perspectives, to provide a more holistic understanding of the needs of carers. Emphasis is placed on providing a balanced picture which recognizes both the burdens and satisfactions of caring, as well as carers' coping efforts. A new longitudinal model of caring is described, and the various stages and processes are explored. Although the focus is primarily on the carer, the perspectives of the cared-for person are not ignored, and a model is presented which aids the integration of disparate viewpoints. In addition to the theoretical and methodological debates, implications for policy and practice are discussed. |
