| Annotation | The literature in social work practice with ageing spouses as caregivers is reviewed. The couple is seen as a primary unit for treatment, given the demographics and the increased dependency and intimacy created in the couple system, as one or both individuals of the couple age, develop illness or become frail. The authors present a systems intervention model that has been effectively used with late-life couples to stabilise and enhance a couple's functioning, and in some cases aid the recovery of the ill care receiver.
