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:

  1. Find out what led Barry and Julia to focus on the needs of caregivers.
  2. How did caregiving affect their marriage?
  3. How did their children, who were teenagers at the time, respond to the caregiving situation?
  4. Why do so many people caring for loved ones with dementia avoid the label "caregiver"?
  5. Why are people so often reluctant to use caregiver support services?
  6. Are there specific tips you have for shielding marriage from the all-consuming demands of dementia caregiving?
