Riassunto

Much of the burden of caring for the elderly rests on members of their immediate family -- usually their children, who often have children of their own. Such a situation can create stress, since the aged may require special care that is time-consuming and wearing. Written by an academic and a practitioner, this is a manual for those who are the care-givers themselves, and for professionals who work with care-givers and who advise on the welfare of the ageing.
