"This book, authored by contributors from various countries, looks at the boundaries of care by looking at private and public help, professional and personal help and paid and unpaid caregivers. It captures and conceptualizes the complexity of the intersection of work and home life as it relates to the provision of assistance and support to older relatives in a variety of "care work" contexts. It explores these issues within a critical framework, rather than from an assumed stress or burden perspective, which dominates current texts on the topic." "This book will be of use to academics and graduate students in Gerontology, Family Studies, Industrial Organizational Psychology, Gender Studies and Sociology."--BOOK JACKET.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
