Book Description: Much has been written about the modern caregiver who, more often than not, is an older woman assuming the care of parent, spouse, or child. But in recent years the demographics of caregivers have changed. More men are taking up the roll of primary care provider for a loved one. Recent studies estimate that between 14 and 18 percent of men ranging in age from nineteen to later middle age are providing care to a family member or friend with a serious illness or disability. And in men seventy-five or older, there are more husbands caring for wives than vice versa. Much more needs to be learned about their experiences and the challenges they face. Betty J. Kramer and Edward H. Thompson Jr., both experienced researchers in the area of men as caregivers, provide an in-depth and comprehensive overview of the topic in this collection of articles from various experts in gerontology, social work, psychology, and sociology. Special consideration is given to gay male caregivers of partners with AIDS, men who care for a family member with dementia, fathers of adult children with mental disabilities, spousal care of women with cancer, and sons caring for parents. This valuable collection of current research addresses a much neglected but vitally important area of caregiving.
