Stress Reduction for Caregivers » (1st Edition)

Olshevski, Jodi L., MSG; Katz, Anne D., PhD (USC); Knight, Bob G., PhD (USC)

Olshevski, Katz, and Knight, all gerontology specialists at the University of Southern California, address a wide variety of issues involved in helping caregivers manage and reduce their own stress levels. Incorporating both the theories of stress and coping and more practical applications they illustrate four techniques that care givers can use: stress level monitoring, relaxation training, scheduling relaxing events, and cognitive restructuring.
