And despite the critical nature of their job, caregivers rarely have avenues of support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Challenges of Mental Health Caregiving\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the complexities of the situation with uncommon depth and breadth. Suited to researchers, scientist-practitioners and clinicians, and students seeking a rounded understanding of the field, it examines how caregiving affects the lives, work, and mental health of family and professional caregivers. Chapters explore developmental, cultural, and spiritual contexts of care, addressing ongoing concerns about care in relation to larger health systems and emphasizing the need for care to be viewed as a community, rather than an individual or family experience. Further, the book's conclusion strongly advocates for more effective and efficient uses for available funds and resources while offering workable proposals for service improvements at the policy level. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey areas of coverage:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe impact of caregiving on physical and mental health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrating mental health and primary care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe promotion of positive mental health outcomes in children and youth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-life concerns and caregiver experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss, grief, bereavement and the implications for mental health caregiving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolicy issues incaregiving and mental health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Challenges of Mental Health Caregiving\u003c\/i\u003e is a clear-sighted reference for researchers, clinicians and scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in the caregiving fields, including clinical psychology, social work, public health\/medicine, geriatrics\/gerontology, public policy, and educational policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-11-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461487906\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-8791-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 234\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47671509942412,"sku":"9781461487906","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461487906.jpg?v=1776516763","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461487906","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
