Whether a helping professional with years of experience or a newly graduated therapist seeing their first client, readers will gain a wealth of information from the book. The authors ensure that this book will be a guiding light. 5 Stars!;Reviewed by Jill N.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Group Psychodrama for Dementia Old Age and
Book SynopsisGroup Psychodrama for Dementia, Old Age, and Loneliness offers a fresh approach for professionals working with older individuals by employing new and exciting custom methodologies in psychodrama, particularly for clients with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. This book offers a general explanation of the use of psychodrama by giving an overview of the therapeutic use of drama in all its forms, clearly explaining the concepts and methods, and describing the rationale of every intervention while also following a group over six years with precious documentation of the group process. It addresses the main concerns of those who suffer from dementia adjusting to a new and changing level of functioning, fostering a sense of belonging, preserving their innate dignity, and redefining relationships and roles.This practical guide will help therapists, social workers, family and other caregivers, teachers, and medical professionals working with older clientTrade Review"Cedar’s book humanizes the work with older adults beyond imagination. It not only inspired and encouraged me to do creative work with every living being, but I also found myself laughing and crying while reading it, as if I was watching a movie or a theatre piece. The book is written with enthusiasm and clarity: It describes the challenges and achievements of doing creative group work with people suffering from dementia, old age, and loneliness with utmost sincerity, enlightening depth, and a passionate desire to touch the reader’s heart."Professor Susana Pendzik, PhD, RDT, Tel Hai Academic College, Hebrew University of Jerusalem"In the field of dementia care we're always looking for additional ways to stimulate our groups. Once upon a time there was only music therapy and exercises. This book is fascinating, an easy read but also scientific, well versed in theoretical data and examples from life, while encouraging a new generation to get on the wagon and join in doing psychodrama. It not only adds a whole new field to our toolbox, but in line with the Melabev philosophy, accents what they can do, not what is lost; relates to them with dignity and uses the interaction within the group to build a safe, loving, support system."Leah Abramowitz, M.S.W., co-founder of Melabev, recipient of the Jerusalem Prize and the Builders of Zion Prize"This inspiring book authored by a true expert shows convincingly how a group of older adults suffering cognitive decline, Alzheimer´s disease and other dementias responded individually and in group settings to a series of exercises clearly described in each chapter. It is amazing to find out how seniors with various cognitive impairments responded to a wide range of psychodrama techniques wonderfully explained in the book."Soledad Ballesteros, Ph.D., emeritus professor of Basic Psychology, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, MadridTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Care of the Older Person
Book SynopsisThe fifth edition of this widely used book by caregivers brings to you updated and revised content, built on the basic understanding that medicine does not work in a vacuum, but rather alongside other disciplines to provide the environment for a healthy and fulfilling long life. Edited by alumni and senior faculty at McGill University, with international contributions, this book advocates the achievement of better, longer, satisfying, and more productive lives for older persons. It is a helpful resource for physicians, professional caregivers, therapists, students, and residents in medical and nursing disciplines, who care for our burgeoning older population and need to know what to look for and when to consult specialists.Key Features:1. Follows a uniform structure with many chapters having a hypothetical vignette for instructional purposes and with the clinical chapters detailing the features and diagnosis of given conditions, along with possible management protocolTrade ReviewA readable, engaging and thought-provoking book that offers a broad overview of ageing and aged care,while at the same time providing detailed and relevant clinical information.Glenn Duns, MDCM, FRACGP,MPH, MelbourneThe new Fifth edition of The Care of the Older Person, written by eminent experts, details stumbling blocks and disease processes encountered by older people, including frailty and loss of mental acuity. Strategies to mitigate, and even avoid, such conditions, including possible changes in lifestyle, which I have spent a lifetime advocating, are detailed, as well as how to care for persons who are living with such conditions.Joe De Sena, Founder and CEO of SpartanThe fifth edition of The Care of the Older Person, edited by Ronald Caplan, MD, and authored by McGill faculty, is an excellent resource for the improvement of health and nutrition and the diagnosis and treatment of disease in the geriatric patient. Brief clinical vignettes solidify the principles covered in each chapter and highlight differences in this population. As we enter the “older person” age group, I greatly appreciate the authors’ and editor’s careful attention to all the elements of patient care, from assessment with the frailty index to application of care pathways ensuring optimal outcomes despite multiple comorbidities, impaired physiologic reserve and functional status. Ethical issues and patient values are also well incorporated into decision-making. I recommend this book to all those interested in the care of this vulnerable population-physicians, advanced care providers, nurses and students.Mary C. McCarthy, MD, FACS, MAMSEProfessor EmeritusWright State University School of MedicineThe Care of the Older Person is a remarkable book on many levels. In addition to being clearly written, it explores areas that do not even appear on the average practitioner’s radar. There is an entire chapter on the many aspects of building a residence for older people; there is another chapter on the relative merits of cancer screening for this and that condition; there is a chapter on the psychology of getting older, becoming disabled, and obviously, coming closer to dying. These are topics that many practitioners would rather leave to others. Yet, as the saying goes, no snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible. All practitioners (except perhaps pediatricians) need a passing knowledge of the information in this book. I can well see this work becoming part of medical school curricula.Ronald Grelsamer, Clinical Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York, NY.The book is much more than a typical medical textbook. It delves deeper and wider into the important question of what can be done to improve all aspects of the lives of older persons in our world today. The latest edition of this comprehensive textbook offers a wealth of current information. It should be available to all who care for older persons. David E.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Older Citizens and EndofLife Care
Book SynopsisOlder people are, like younger people, citizens in the communities of the nations in which they live. This book sees ageing as a life journey that incorporates a process of citizening, in which people build their identity as part of their family and community. But the social experience of illness, frailty, disability and reaching the end of life may de-citizen older people by devaluing the social identity that comes from continuing social engagement. We de-citizen older people by emphasizing dependence on services and their cost to public expenditure instead of valuing the interdependence of participation and mutual respect. This book argues that older people retain full citizenship for the whole of their lives, up to the moment of death; but what does this mean for health and social care?In this groundbreaking book, Malcolm Payne argues that social work with older people must build re-citizening practice strategies to value both the common and the special aspects of the citiTrade Review'Challenging current practice models in social work and social care, Payne explores the concepts of citizenship, social work and participative interdependence and skillfully demonstrates how these could – and should – be applied to practice with older people at the end of life. This groundbreaking work is essential reading for practitioners and academics alike.' – Sue Taplin, University of Suffolk, UKTable of ContentsLists of Figures and TablesAcknowledgementsIntroduction1 The ageing journey and the end of life2 Citizens to the end of their lives: rights and participation3 Social work and palliative care: contributions to end-of-life care4 Partnership practice strategies5 Advance care planning6 Preparing for later life: adulthood and the third age7 Direct social work with older citizens in the fourth age8 Ageing, end-of-life and bereavement care9 Conclusion: practice strategy for older people’s citizenshipBibliographyIndex

Rowman & Littlefield Creating Joy and Meaning for the Dementia Patient
Book SynopsisAccording to recent estimates, more than five million Americans suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's disease, a number predicted to grow as Baby Boomers continue to age. Although staggering, these statistics only tell half of the story. As caregivers are thrust into situations they never could have predicted, the emotional, physical, and financial strains are enormous and cannot be overestimated. As the number of dementia patients continues to increase, so will the number of caregivers searching for answers and advice.Creating Joy and Meaning for the Dementia Patient offers a positive and innovative approach to dementia care that focuses on the caregiver's power to create an atmosphere of joy and peace for both the patient and themselves, breathing fresh air into the topic of dementia care. As the disease progresses, the patient's world grows smaller and smaller. Time for them no longer consists of weeks, days, or even hours. Eventually their cognitive life is reduced to small incrementTrade Review[I]f you’re a caregiver (or care about a caregiver), Creating Joy and Meaning for the Dementia Patient might fit the bill! By Ronda Parsons, this title helps caregivers create an environment of mutual joy and contentment. * Hibbing Daily Tribune *Creating Joy & Meaning for the Dementia Patient offers a positive new approach to handling dementia patients and stems from the author's ten years of experience. It's designed to help fellow caregivers understand the stages of dementia and how to create connections and positive experiences through them all. This guide is highly recommended for caregivers and professionals who deal with dementia and Alzheimer's patients on a daily basis. Where other guides may talk about communication and management, this book reaches beyond these subjects and addresses the fundamentals of life - joy and meaning - and emphasizes patient individuality; not a 'one size fits all' program. . . . In many ways Creating Joy & Meaning for the Dementia Patient fills in the gaps created by similar-sounding books by discussing the complications of memory changes and the psychological reactions of patients and caregivers during the process. Each chapter concludes with tangible insights, communication tips that emphasize flexibility and understanding, and approaches that lend dignity and joy into every encounter. Compelling and satisfyingly specific, Creating Joy & Meaning for the Dementia Patient offers what few others have achieved: a sense of renewed purpose and concrete approaches that go beyond 'handling' and move into areas of positive experiences for all involved. * Donovan's Bookshelf *There are so very many books on the market directed to 'managing care' and 'handling' dementia patients - and so many more dementia patients needing help - that it's refreshing to see a more human, caring approach focused on the basic elements of living (joy and meaning) rather than 'management' in Creating Joy & Meaning for the Dementia Patient. Ronda Parsons’ specific title is packed with insights on how to tailor these elements for dementia mental states, offering a virtual treasure trove of recommendations and approaches that eschews the usual clinical 'management' terms and ideas to address the very personal dilemma of how to make the ending years of life just as meaningful and important as the early ones. Outstanding in its concept and approach and specific in its 'how to' arena, Creating Joy & Meaning for the Dementia Patient should be in the libraries of caregivers, families, health providers, and any concerned about maintaining high quality of life for dementia patients. * Midwest Book Review *Within the first 21 pages, I kept saying to myself, 'Yes, YES, she’s right on target!' Ronda’s story is our story or the story new caregivers aspire to share. Ronda discovers ways to positively approach caregiving, by drawing on emotional memories and the five senses, creating beauty and bringing nature to her Nan. . . . . Toward the end of the 200-plus page book, Ronda writes with passion about our human need, regardless of circumstances, to feel dignity. She also inspires the reader with examples of God’s grace. Sometimes the smallest gestures are the most meaningful. . . . Ronda’s observation of the nature of dementia is compelling, particularly when she describes it as a tug-of-war between short-term and long-term memories. . . . She tells moving stories (beyond her and Nan) that set meaningful context for the reader and summarizes each chapter with a list of insights. Creating Joy & Meaning for the Dementia Patient is filled with ideas and tips that can be put into practice immediately. * The Caregiver’s Voice *I would . . . recommend [this book] to those who have already placed their family member in a facility. * Society of Teachers of Family Medicine *Table of ContentsEpigraph Prologue: The Turning Point 1: Grabbing at Shadows 2: Acceptance 3: The Moment by Moment Technique 4: The Joy Continuum 5: A Positive Approach 6: Memories 7: Beauty 8: Creating Emotional Memories 9: Nature 10: The Five Senses 11: Mind Games 12: Communication 13: Dignity 14: Spirit 15: Emotional Security 16: Humor is the Best Medicine 17: The Caregiver 18: The Business of Dementia 19: Going Home Epilogue
