Authors Discuss The Answers To The Most Common Caregiver Questions
Lori La Bey talks with Barry J. Jacobs, Psy.D., a Philadelphia area-based clinical psychologist, healthcare consultant, and author or co-author of three self-help books for family caregivers, as well as a columnist on caregiving on the AARP website.
Joining them is Barry’s wife, Julia L. Mayer, Psy.D., is a Philadelphia area-based clinical consultant, author, and co-host of the podcast Shrinks on Third about psychology and social justice.
During their 35 years of marriage, Barry and Julia were caregivers over a nine-year period for Julia's father and Barry's mother with vascular dementia and Barry's stepfather with Alzheimer's disease. Their just-published book is The AARP Caregiver Answer Book, a book-length FAQ with the answers to nearly 150 questions that caregivers commonly ask.
Learn:
- Find out what led Barry and Julia to focus on the needs of caregivers.
- How did caregiving affect their marriage?
- How did their children, who were teenagers at the time, respond to the caregiving situation?
- Why do so many people caring for loved ones with dementia avoid the label "caregiver"?
- Why are people so often reluctant to use caregiver support services?
- Are there specific tips you have for shielding marriage from the all-consuming demands of dementia caregiving?
