Synopsis

Providing care for individuals with dementia is among the most difficult challenges facing families caring for older partners and parents. Although some aspects of the caregiving experience are consistent across families, there is significant variability in the ways families experience, perceive, interact and cope with the task of caring for their family member. Expressed emotion (EE), the degree of criticism or emotional over-involvement that a caregiver expresses towards their care-recipient, serves as a useful framework for characterizing the caregiving environment and is predictive of care-recipients outcomes across a variety of conditions. However, it remains unclear why some caregivers respond to care-recipients with high EE and others do not. One construct that may play a role in patterns of EE is attachment. A significant body of literature has demonstrated that attachment guides caregiving behavior across a variety of relationships. This book presents a study that examines the complex relationships between attachment and EE.
