"This book provides a very comprehensive, enlightening, and informative account of the issues involved in the professional and informal spheres of caregiving. While I think it would be an interesting read for scholars in a variety of field and disciplines, I think it would be especially valuable to those in the professional spheres of direct caregiving, such as nursing and rehabilitation practitioners."
