Managing Family Conflict During Family Caregiving with Barry Jacobs, PsyD
Differences of opinion are a natural part of family life. Little wonder, then, that such differences and even heated debates arise during family caregiving when the stakes and emotions run high. During this hour, psychologist, family therapist and co-author of AARP Meditations for Caregiving, Barry J. Jacobs, Psy.D., will present a framework for managing conflict between the primary caregiver and care recipient, among caregiving family members, and between the caregiving family and healthcare and social service professionals.
