Books for caregivers
As a caregiver and a writer both, I know how valuable it can be to be able to turn to a book for resource information or to answer a question that your just too frazzled to think of the answer on your own. So I offer up these two books on providing care that might help those that care for a care recipient understand and maybe even overcome the effects of burnout:
Self-Care for Caregivers: A Twelve Step Approach
by Pat Samples, Diane Larsen, Marvin Larsen
Preventing Caregiver Burnout (Caregiver Survival Series)
by James R. Sherman
And a book on Alzheimer's for those that want to better understand the early stages and what to expect from it when they become a caregiver for someone that has it:
Alzheimer's Early Stages: First Steps for Family, Friends, and Caregivers
by Daniel Kuhn, David A., M.D. Bennett
Self-Care for Caregivers: A Twelve Step Approach

Sandra: I agree with your choices, especially the self-care for caregiver book. Another old standby for caregivers is the book, "The 36 Hour Day" by Peter Rabin and Nancy Mace. It has been around for a long time but still has great advice
