Specifically, the model suggests that intrapsychic threats can affect a caregiver's appraisal of the care situation, and thus how a caregiver copes.Also, it is speculated that caregiver coping (as manifested primarily through avoidance or acceptance of loss) will influence behavioral interaction within the caregiving dyad where communication and decision making between caregiver and the person with dementia is predominantly inequitable (e.g., authoritarian) or equitable (e.g., negotiated).Lastly, it is proposed that dyadic behavior is an antecedent to dyadic wellbeing.In terms of intervention (given the model is centered on the intrapsychic threat posed by loss), particular emphasis is on both individual and social factors that negatively influence a caregiver's ability to integrate the emotional costs related to dementia and its care.
