Barry Jacobs writes: “My fourth book, The AARP Caregiver Answer Book, cowritten with my wife, Julia Mayer, is scheduled to be published in July 2025 by Guilford Books. It is the culmination of a nearly 40-year focus on providing care as a clinical psychologist for older adults with serious and chronic illness and their family members, typically sandwich generation caregivers who are struggling to do right by their parents while also managing their own childcare and career responsibilities. My passion for this work stems from my father’s death from brain cancer when I was 15. While I hadn’t quite figured it out during my years at Brown in the late-’70s, that loss has shaped the rest of my life.”
