Jessica Kingsley Publishers Teaching Empathy and Conflict Resolution to
Book SynopsisThe way in which dementia is understood and treated is changing, with a growing focus on the individual's experience and person-centred approaches to care. Introducing a new model of dementia care that reflects on the role of a person with dementia within a community and their relationships, this guide for professional and family caregivers demonstrates how to facilitate positive relationships for peaceful living.By understanding the cognitive and physical challenges that older adults with dementia face, caregivers can practice empathic care that affords people with dementia increased freedom of expression and independence.

Oxford University Press Inc Integrative Geriatric Medicine
Book SynopsisIntegrative geriatrics is a new field of medicine that advocates for a whole-person, patient-centered, primarily non-pharmacological approach to medical care of the elderly. Most current geriatric practices overprescribe medications and procedures and underutilize non-pharmacological, low-cost, high-touch methods. Patients, however, often show reluctance towards these standard practices, as the interventions they rely upon are often invasive. The practice of integrative geriatrics is rooted in lifestyle interventions, such as nutrition, movement therapies, and mind-body and spirituality approaches, that allow patients to have different path to their healthcare-one that utilizes pharmaceuticals and invasive procedures only when safer integrative approaches are not available or not effective.This first definitive textbook of this new field presents detailed, evidence-based information for all healthcare providers and advocates who work with the geriatric population. It is intended not only for providers in outpatient settings, but also for those who work in nursing homes, assisted and independent living facilities, and senior community centers. In addition, Integrative Geriatric Medicine will provide valuable information for leaders and politicians who are involved with implementing policies and procedures for care of elderly patients looking for safer, less costly, and more patient-centered approaches.Trade ReviewIntegrative Geriatric Medicine provides a critical understanding of the current evidence base and application of integrative approaches to elder care. It is a fitting member of Dr. Weil's Integrative book series, and a valuable source of information to be referenced time and time again. * Erika Rogan, Journal of Applied Gerontology *Table of Contents1: Mikhail Kogan and Kyle Meehan: Introduction 2: Julie Wendt, Anna Rotkiewicz, and Alice Berg: Geriatric Nutrition 3: Joseph P.

Oxford University Press Inc Geriatric Palliative Care
Book SynopsisThe growing geriatric population in the United States has created an increasing need for palliative medicine services across the range of medical and surgical specialties. Yet, palliative medicine lacks the resources to carry such a workload itself. Geriatric Palliative Care addresses this need by encouraging individual specialties to own the management of elderly with the same vigor as they own other key management competencies within their specialty. This clinically focused and highly practical handbook, which compliments the more comprehensive text Geriatric Palliative Care by Sean Morrison and Diane Meier (Oxford University Press, 2003), encourages this process of learning and ownership across many medical specialties. Designed to be readable and easily accessible to a range of health care providers, Geriatric Palliative Care outlines specific strategies for caring for specific palliative care issues common in elderly patients. The handbook also provides evidence based advice for hTrade ReviewAny member of the health care team who is engaging with geriatric patients in need of palliative care would benefit from having this guide on the bookshelf. * R. Kevin Mallinson, Oxford University Press Journals: Gerontologist *This is a well-written, easy-to-read book. It covers many topics at a very basic level, making it an exceptional reference for students, trainees, and generalists. There are many other books specific to palliative care and to geriatrics, but none that blend the two. * Doody's Notes *I think this book provides a good coverage and it is very practical and useable. Given that we are encountering an increasing number of older adults in palliative care, this would be a useful book to have on the shelf for quick day-to-day reference, providing the geriatric perspective on the problems we encounter...

Oxford University Press Aging Our Way
Book SynopsisAmerica is quickly going grey. There are more Americans alive today over the age of 80 than ever before in our history; by 2030, that number is expected to almost triple. But when we discuss how long people live, we must also consider how well they live. Aging Our Way follows the everyday lives of 30 elders (ages 85-102) living at home and mostly alone to understand how they create and maintain meaningful lives for themselves. Through extensive interviews, Meika Loe explores how elders navigate the practical challenges of living as independently as possible while staying healthy, connected, and comfortable. Aging Our Way celebrates these men and women as they really are: lively, complicated, engaging people finding creative ways to make their aging as meaningful and manageable as possible. Written with remarkable warmth and depth of understanding, Aging Our Way offers a vivid look at a group of people who too often remain invisible--those who have lived the longest - and all they have Trade ReviewAmericans are living longer lives today than ever before. But are these quality years? How are we experiencing 'these additional years' in our 80s, 90s, and even 100s? In Meika Loe's Aging Our Way, men and women tell how they are making the best of their time, even with personal limitations. These 'ways of aging' are summed up as lessons for reflection and action. I urge you to read and share this inspiring book with others for it enriches understanding of life paths that many will follow. * Glen H. Elder, Jr., Howard W. Odum Distinguished Research Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill *Loe's writing is clear, jargon-free, and warm-she clearly likes and often admires her subjects. She has done an excellent job in organizing her book topically and lets her subjects speak for themselves, then distills their most important points. While there are few startling revelations, there is a great deal of wisdom. * Publisher's Weekly *Useful for its thoroughness, examples of resiliency, and attention to this growing phenomenon. * CHOICE *A lively, engaging, and moving read. Loe shows how the personal resources needed to cope with aging are closely tied to structural factors like race, class, gender, birth cohort, and socioeconomic status. Nearly any reader will find Aging Our Way relevant to their own life or the lives of their aging parents or relatives. * Deborah Carr, Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University *In this delightfully written book, Meika Loe illustrates how we continue to develop and become more diverse as we age. Aging Our Way is an engagingly written introduction to this new understanding of aging and will serve its readers well. * Peter V.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Experience of Alzheimers Disease
Book Synopsis* Helps readers to understand the experience of suffering Alzheimera s Disease. * Incorporates the actual words of afflicted persons. * Focuses on constructive ways of improving the lives of sufferers and their carers. * Examines the intact abilities of Alzheimera s sufferers. .Trade Review"Almost everything written about Alzheimer's Disease and its victims describes the condition, their condition, from outside, in terms of deficit and loss. The Experience of Alzheimer's Disease is quite different in that each patient is presented as a unique subject and emphasis is laid on what is strong and preserved, the ways in which the self and a sense of worth and meaning can be maintained, despite the progressive nature of the disease. Such an 'existential' perspective is radically different from the usual 'medical' or 'pathologizing' one, and one which is vitally needed, and complementary to it. I think The Experience of Alzheimer's Disease, while respecting scientific accuracy and avoiding sentimentality, has something of the beauty and feel of a novel." Oliver Sacks, M.D. "This is the finest book thus far written about the experience of Alzheimer's disease. Readers will be deeply impressed by Sabat's many detailed observations and interpretations of the psychological needs of persons with dementia, and with his case examples of how responding to these needs can be beneficial. This book is an immediate classic not only because it qualitatively defines the experience of dementia better than all previous attempts, but also because is humanely releases the reader from the grip of invalid and ultimately harmful assumptions about the deeply forgetful." Stephen G. Post, Center for Biomedical Ethics, CWRU "Steven Sabat's book points the way to a soundly based and eminently humane approach to dealing with the problems of language and communication that are encountered in Alzheimer's disease. Linguists and psycholinguists could learn a great deal from him." Roy Harris, Editor of the journal, Language and Communication "In this masterly and original study Steven Sabat introduces us to a cast of characters, each in his or her own way struggling to maintain a sense of self and to preserve a place of dignity and value in what remains of their life worlds. As we follow Dr. B, Mrs. D and Dr. M and the others through various real life episodes we begin to see that there are possibilities for the enhancement of the lives of even the most seriously disadvantaged, provided we continue to view them as people who are, in all that really matters, like ourselves." Rom Harré, Linacre College Oxford "In his deep commitment to discovering and honoring the experience of selfhood, Sabat has penetrated the tangled veil of Alzheimer's to reveal with illuminating scholarship, uncommon empathy, and profoundly skilled listening, the enduring humanity of persons with the disease." Lisa Snyder, MSW, University of California, San Diego and Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. "Rarely has a book so amply fulfilled the promise of its title! Steven Sabat's unique ability to interpret the life worlds of his patients, his scholarly grasp of the research literature, and his vivid case histories, set a new standard in understanding the experience of Alzheimer's Disease. In an age of neuroscience and genetic determinism, his book is a timely reminder that mental disorder, even in cases of obvious "brain disease", may be a product as much of dysfunctional treatments as of dysfunctional brains. " K.W.M. Fulford, University of Oxford & University of Warwick. "This is truly a humane and scholarly treatise on the lived experience of Alzheimer's disease. Sabat guides us beyond the shattered biomedical world of patients diagnosed with dementia to reveal them still as people with intact capabilities. A "must read" for anyone involved in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of AD." Phyllis Braudy Harris, John Carroll University. "This is a "must read" for any practitioner whose clientele includes patients with Alzheimer's disease. It combines humanity, humility and a clear conceptual framework that can be put to practical use. While captivating the reader, Sabat provides insights that can be extremely helpful in clinical practice and program development". Michael Gordon, University of Toronto, Canadian Medical Association Journal, February 2002 "Sabat has written a complex, thought-provoking book which aims to give some insight into the subjective experience of Alzheimer's disease. [...] The book is interspersed with the voices of Alzheimer's disease patients and Sabat displays warmth, empathy and respect for the individuals described." R Clafferty, Forth Valley Primary Care NHS Trust, Psychiatric Bulletin, January 2003 "this book is a rich source of people with dementias’ experiences of having the condition, described using many examples of their own words and conversations ... provides a useful insight into what it might feel like to have dementia, and challenges us to reflect on how we interact with people with the condition. It is thus a useful text for psychiatrists and students alike who want a basic grounding in social theories as applicable to dementia and an evidence base for person-centred approaches to dementia care, and is a rich source of data for those who already ascribe to this philosophy."

Book SynopsisThroughout, Zgola's emphasis is on treating persons who have Alzheimer's disease with empathy, courtesy, and dignity.Trade ReviewA valuable resource for professionals, paraprofessionals, and family members working with Alzheimer's disease patients. Educational Gerontology This guide shows how to establish a positive environment for Alzheimer's patients by providing social interaction and productive activity, with an emphasis on treating patients with empathy, courtesy, and dignity. Health Progress This material provides useful suggestions for the Alzheimer's patient at home. Zgola's program would work best in the community setting where the patient with a disease of the Alzheimer's type (DAT) is transported to a center or health care facility. Doing Things provides step-by-step alternatives to a dull vegetative existence, and should be particularly helpful to the primary care provider who desperately needs a 'day off.'. Summer The book's greatest strength is that it serves as a source of dozens of ideas for meaningful activities for persons with dementing illness... This book should be required reading for the adult day-care staff with an interest in dementia. But this reviewer hopes the book will find a wider audience. Patient educators and counselors will find this a valuable reference and teaching guide; the book will be especially helpful to those counselors who work with families caring for persons with dementing illness. Families living with the day-to-day stress of caregiving will find hope in the book's optimism and viewed that we can strive to bring out the best in persons with dementia.
