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.
