FROM THE ARTICLE.

Clinical psychologists Barry J. Jacobs and Julia L. Mayer address the pressing — and often stressful — issues family caregivers encounter every day.

By Nancy Kerr, AARP. Published July 09, 2025.

AARP expert Barry J. Jacobs, and his wife, Julia L. Mayer, are clinical psychologists who have counseled families through their most challenging moments — and seasoned caregivers who have provided care for aging parents. In their new book, The AARP Caregiver Answer Book, on sale today, they tackle common questions caregivers encounter and offer clear, insightful answers.

In the excerpt below, Jacobs and Mayer share how family caregivers can prioritize self-care without feeling stress, embarrassment or self-recrimination.
