Carol Levine and Thomas H. Murray bring together accomplished physicians, nurses, social workers, and policy experts to examine the differences and conflicts (and sometimes common ground) between family caregivers and health care professionals and to suggest ways to improve the situation. The Cultures of Caregiving provides needed answers in the contemporary crisis of family caregiving for professionals and students in medical ethics, health policy, and such fields as primary care, geriatrics, oncology, nursing, and social work.“Editors levine and Murray and their contributors demonstrate a broadunderstanding of the culture of caregiving and families.—Choice“The collaboration and talents brought together to write this book arephenomenal . . . This book should be considered as an instrumentin building and solidifying the bridge between caregivers and themedical community.— Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings“levine and Murray have taken us beyond complaining about conflictsand problems in providing healthcare across the cultural divide. Instead,they offer insights, knowledge, and, most important, directionfor creating remedies to problems. —JAMA
