Families who care for patients with Alzheimer's disease face severe psychosocial problems. This paper presents a comprehensive approach for social work practice with such families. The use of both clinical and social interventions is recommended to assist families in managing daily activities, alleviating stress, planning for long term care and coping with the emotional sequelae of the disease. Information-giving, teaching, and advocacy are stressed as a way of providing families with the tools they need to cope with the problems of caring for someone with a chronic, degenerative condition.
