Caregiving 101 - A Useful Guide

This book is an excellent resource guide for the non-professional caregiver...whether it's for an elderly parent, a spouse or child, this book is a simple hands-on reference. A must read for anyone new to caregiving.

The "Unspeakable" made "Speakable"

I'll Take Care of you is an excellent book that offers insight and information on the challenges of caregiving. Some day we will all be faced with either being a caregiver or one who receives the care. In this book we are given permission to feel the emotions and know that we are not alone in what we feel and what we are experienceing. I have purchased this book for a friend and am recommending it to all those I know who are currently giving care. It is comforting to know that there is a resource available that offers support, understanding and real concrete suggestions. Thank you Carole Rothman and Joseph Ilardo for making such a sensitive issue "speakable."

Extremely useful and informative

This clearly written book has been extremely useful in helping me deal with my disabled husband. Its advice is useful for all caregivers, not just for those dealing with the elderly. The section on "hidden caregivers" sheds a lot of light on why I feel the way I do. The practical advice has been most helpful. I have suggested it to many of my friends who are also caregivers, and have also given copies of it to may family to help them understand what I am going through.

This book is great!

I love his book. It's great. I think it's the best cargiving book out there.

The most informative book on caregiving out there! 5 stars!

"I'll Take Care of You" by Joseph Ilardo Ph.D., L.C.S.W. and Carole Rothman Ph.D is all about caregiving. It includes many real-life examples and excersises for caregivers. A caregiver is anyone who gives care to a human being, not just an adult or parent. Children, in many cases, are caregivers. If you want any information on caregiving then this is definately the right book for you.
