We brought together two luminaries in the world of caregiving for the first time anywhere. Arthur Kleinman, MD, and Pauline Boss, PhD, shared their professional expertise as academicians, researchers, clinical practitioners, and authors, as well as relate their personal experiences as caregivers to their beloved spouses.
Dr. Kleinman drew from his most recent book, The Soul of Care: The Moral Education of a Husband and a Doctor, and shared his reflections about caring for his wife and how the experience transformed his thinking about our medical system and the need to put those who give care at its center.
Dr. Boss discussed concepts from her upcoming book, The Myth of Closure: Ambiguous Loss in a Time of Pandemic (W. W. Norton, 2021), focusing on how new ambiguous losses have been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and how family caregivers can cope and stay resilient. She shared techniques for successfully navigating the caregiving journey.
Whether you are a family caregiver or a professional, this was truly a memorable learning experience. KJZZ reporter Kathy Ritchie moderated the discussion. Participants had the opportunity to submit questions during the presentation, which were answered by Dr. Kleinman and Dr. Boss.
