BOOK REVIEWS T. H. Brubaker (Ed.), Aging. Health, and Farnib: Long Term Care. Newbury Park: CA: Sage, 1987,288 pp., $29.95 hardcover, $14.95 paper. This decade has seen increasing attention paid to the relationships among individuals, their families, and bureaucracies, a triad providing long-term care to older adults. Exploration of the interfaces in this triad, or of the ways in which families and institutions share caregiving functions, is the focus of this collection of studies. The book consists of six sections. It begins with three largely theoretical chapters by Brubaker, Gubrium, and Tobin, which discuss structural, organizational, and social psychological dimensions of the long-term care triad. In the second section, Noelker and Townsend present studies examining caregiver and family characteristics as they contribute to perceived caregiving effectiveness. The third section provides studies that examine the fit between family-centered needs and service provision. The authors here consider a range of community- based services that illuminate issues as diverse as the extent of family assessment in homemaker placement, the impact of a home and community-based service program on the burden of family caregivers, the helpfulness of adult day care, the feasibility of proposed (volunteer respite) programs, and the rural-urban differences in family/formal
