Dr. Barry J. Jacobs, a noted clinical psychologist, family therapist, and health care consultant, reviews some of the essential elements of spousal dementia caregiving: sensitivity to the dignity of the person with dementia; the need for patience, flexibility, and creativity; and the occasional well-intentioned use of white lies or even subterfuge to effectively provide protection.
