In this highly interactive conversation with psychologist Barry J. Jacobs, Psy.D., coauthor of The AARP Caregiver Answer Book, we’ll discuss why parents may not recognize that they need help and potential strategies for helping them receive care graciously. Case illustrations will be used throughout.
