Aimed at those in their later years, the book speaks of the importance of a living will and how the document isn't enough. \"Living Will\" offers advice on encouraging communication with loved ones and friends, assistance in dealing with the legal paperwork of wills and other complications that arise, and dealing with oneself after a loved one has passed on. \"Living Will\" is a solid compendium of knowledge on one's own death, and should be highly considered by those who don't want complications for themselves or their loved ones.\" Internet Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review, Nov. 2008\u003cbr\u003e\"Godkin draws from her nursing experience and research in her advocacy of advanced directives. The five substantive chapters in this concise, clearly written volume are titled 'Protecting Self and Others,' 'Facing One's Mortality,' 'Talking about Death,' 'Choosing an Agent,' and 'Getting It Done.' In contrast with many such works, this volume is practical and concrete, noting that the general public became aware of the concept of advaced directives through legal cases like those of Karen Ann Quinlan and Terry Schiavo. These cases highlighted living wills' potential for protecting patient autonomy and supporting family, friends, and caregivers in making medical decisions for dying patients. To illustrate her message, Godkin introduces two fictitious individuals dying of leukemia: 'Alice,' 84, learns about advanced directives from a church workshop, prepares for her own death by preparing a legacy scrapbook, and dies peacefully in accord with her expressed wishes; and 'Martha,' 65. Godkin, a young nurse, is called in as Martha is dying, and is horrified by the quasi-violence of medical efforts to resuscitate Martha before she is 'efficiently pronounced dead.' Appendixes include 'Guiding Interview Questions,' 'Sample Advanced Directives,' and 'Educational Resources.' Valuable for health facility patients, staff, and visitors.\" H. J. John, Choice, April 2009\u003cbr\u003e\"Minimally, the \"publish or perish\" world of the academy expects that the contents of doctoral dissertations will be mined for conference papers and\/or articles in refereed journals. The academic ideal, however, is the dissertation's transformation into a book, something that Godkin, currently Regional Ethicist with Trillium Health Centre in Mississauga and a University of Toronto assistant professor, has done with \"Apprehending Death: The Older Adult's Experience of Preparing an Advance Directive,\" her 2002 dissertation completed at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Nursing. Readers seeking a how-to book on preparing their own living will, aka an advance directive, will eventually get that information, but Godkin's doctoral research was more concerned about the process that seniors used in arriving at the creation of a living will than she was in its exact contents. Drawing heavily from the structure and content of chapters 4-8 of her dissertation, Godkin explores five themes which serve as the book's chapter titles: \"Protecting Self and Others\"; \"Facing One's Mortality\"; \"Talking about Death\"; \"Choosing an Ally\"; and \"Getting It Done.\" In her study, Godkin interviewed 15 seniors whose reflections on preparing an advance directive are given voice through the narration of Godkin's composite creation, Alice Dawson, 84, whose \"conversations\" appear in italics while Godkin's analysis is in regular print. The book concludes with an eight-page Reference List and four appendices, with one being her interview questions, the second a \"Sample Advance Directive,\" and the final two \"Legislative Guidelines\" and \"Educational Resources.\" Godkin saw three audiences for Living Will, Living Well: individuals, especially older adults, who are considering preparing an advance directive; their family members or friends who would play a supportive role, including being the ally who would endeavour to ensure that the advance directive's terms were actualized; and health care providers. Godkin believes members of the last group because they see their goal as preserving life, often find themselves in conflict with living wills and, therefore, need to become better informed. Though the book is generally quite readable, given that two of the audiences are just average Canadians, Godkin needed to abandon some of the academic writing style, especially the reference citations within the text.

Coleman, Emeritus Professor of Psychogerontology, University of Southampton, UK\u003cbr\u003eStuart-Hamilton (developmental psychology, Univ. of Glamorgan, Wales) has written an accessible, user-friendly, and exceptionally helpful book. Despite the fact that aging is one of the only truisms in the world, family members are often left to their own devices in terms of understanding the aging of loved ones. A respected authority on the subject, Stuart-Hamilton is an excellent choice for crafting a book that demystifies and simplifies what is known about this topic from the psychological literature. He successfully challenges the layperson perception that aging is about large, systemic, and general declines in cognitive performance--change is broad and encompassing. For example, in discussing reaction time he looks at differences between \"simple reaction time\" and \"choice reaction time,\" demonstrating that though age-related declines do occur, they are not necessarily as systemic or dramatic as general perceptions suggest. A valuable resource for those who work with family members of aging individuals, or are interested in exploring this subject. \u003cb\u003eSumming Up:\u003c\/b\u003e Highly recommended.

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.

This book will be especially useful to commissioners following the NHS 'new models of care' \"vanguards\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003eThis is a complex and difficult journey and Dr Rahman's book is like having an informed, interested, intelligent and profoundly humane friend by your side on the journey through. This book is a friend that is encyclopaedic in knowledge and who is not afraid to have opinions and to express them. We are part-way along the journey, we have come a long way but we have far to go. This book helps us reflect on where we are and the road we have travelled, all the better to plan and travel the road ahead. -- from the foreword by Sube Banerjee, Professor of Dementia, Brighton and Sussex Medical School\u003cbr\u003eDr Shibley Rahman sets out what is best practice in language and attitude as well as care and support. He writes with great authority and humility about what people who have dementia, and their loved ones, face and how we could all do a great deal more to help them...This is a wonderful book, for students, health professionals, researchers, policy makers, politicians, families, and for people who may be in the early stages of the diseases that cause dementia. This is a book that challenges but also gives hope. Which I think is the greatest gift of all. -- from the foreword by Lisa Rodrigues CBE, writer, coach and mental health campaigner\u003cbr\u003eAs a nurse, specialising in the care of people with dementia, and those who care for and support them, this will be a 'go to' text; for reference and for revisiting important topics relating to practice...This book is an important milestone in the Dementia Care literature as it provides information to help us answer the difficult questions we face as professionals helping to support people and families. -- from the Afterword by Lucy Frost, Dementia Lead (Nurse Consultant)\u003cbr\u003eThe third of Rahman's books on issues relating to dementia. Another must-read text that discusses the many and varied elements of what is required to enhance the lives and wellbeing of people with dementia. I particularly like his style of telling us what we can expect to learn from each section and suggestions for further reading.  This, as well as the first two books from the author, is an essential read for all health and social care students in gaining an overview of caring in dementia -- Dr Karen Harrison Dening, Head of Research \u0026amp; Evaluation, Dementia UK\u003cbr\u003eShibley Rahman's last book in his trilogy on dementia represents a comprehensive and thought provoking tour de force through the subject matter - great reading for any health and social care professional, academic and interested lay person.

A unique read! -- Reinhard Guss, Chair, Faculty of the Psychology of Older People\u003cbr\u003ePractitioners, family carers and people with dementia looking for a comprehensive resource about dementia need look no further.

This is an important resource for anyone who wants to understand more about providing better dementia support. -- Jo Moriarty, Senior Research Fellow, King’s College London\u003cbr\u003eAn absolute gem of a book. Through his career, Shibley Raman has been sequentially academic neurologist, service user, family carer and blogging activist. His learning and wisdom have been distilled into a highly readable, comprehensively referenced and bang up-to-date companion for anyone who needs to learn and understand about people with dementia and what can be done to help them, their families and professional carers to get the very best out of life. -- Robert Howard, Professor of Old Age Psychiatry, University College London\u003cbr\u003eThere can be no doubt that \u003ci\u003eEnhancing Health and Wellbeing in Dementia\u003c\/i\u003e should be essential reading for anyone with an interest in improving the lives, and rights, of people living with dementia. It is an important book which is both comprehensive and practical - no easy matter to achieve! His encyclopaedic span concludes appropriately with the primacy of person-centred approaches, the importance of dignity, quality and leadership - yes, yes, yes! -- Des Kelly OBE, Chair, The Centre for Policy on Ageing\u003cbr\u003eShibley's voice has emerged as an important one to take notice of within dementia care. His ability to draw together a huge range of knowledge from many different spheres of research, practice and policy and to use it to light our way rather than confuse us further is unique. -- Prof Dawn Brooker, Director of the Association for Dementia Studies at the Worcester University, UK\u003cbr\u003eThis important book continues our journey of what it means to see the person beyond their diagnosis of dementia, with a fresh focus on freedom, dignity and human rights. Dr Shibley challenges the idea that nothing can be done to improve dementia care. He brings practical thinking around how we can move towards truly integrated, person-centred ways of working - making a timely and valuable contribution to our collective understanding. -- Dr Helen Sanderson, author of Person-Centred Thinking with Older People\u003cbr\u003eGreat book on integrated, person-centred dementia care. Clearly identifies issues often overlooked: importance of relationships in delivering good care; pivotal role of care homes in caring for people with dementia; and value of addressing staff needs so they can be in good relationship with others.

This book is an introductory reference guide that will help students, professionals and practitioners develop their skills and expertise to better respond to the needs of people with dementia.

The new go-to book for the dementia curriculum, it is an invaluable tool for anyone wishing to improve the required core skills and values needed to care for those affected by dementia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003eDr Shibley Rahman is a stalwart in the field of dementia care and few others have managed to make such consistent and important contributions.  In this book, together with Professor Robert Howard, Dr Rahman does set out to provide the 'everything you ever needed to know' guide for supporting people living with a dementia.  With the 'Dementia Core Skills Education and Training Framework' as a structure for the book, Rahman and Howard take the reader on a practical and integrated person-centred journey of discovery.  The book is a must read for anyone who works with people living with a dementia and its accessible format can only help in improving their lives. -- Professor Brendan McCormack, Head of the Division of Nursing, Associate Director Centre for Person-centred Practice Research, Queen Margaret University\u003cbr\u003eDr Rahman and Professor Howard provide an engaging and eloquent guide to dementia care in their text.  In my opinion, the text is a must-read for those who are supporting or caring for people living with dementia, both in a professional or personal capacity.  Sui generis. -- Dr Gary Mitchell, Lecturer, Queen’s University Belfast\u003cbr\u003eEssential of Dementia fills a much needed gap in the literature for professionals working with people with dementia, but also for those who care for friends or relatives with the condition, and even those who have the diagnosis themselves. Written in accessible language, all aspects of the condition are considered, ranging from complex brain pathology to the practicalities of understanding why people with dementia may respond in certain ways. The book can be read from start to finish, but each chapter also acts as a stand-alone guide to the subject covered. I would recommend this for healthcare professionals from any setting or background who work with people with dementia, and it should be mandated reading for medical students. I would also recommend it for carers of those with dementia who want to understand more about the condition. -- Dr Zoe Wyrko, Consultant Physician, University Hospital Birmingham\u003cbr\u003eIt is a wonderfully comprehensive book, which I would confidently recommend to every Old Age Psychiatry trainee and Dementia health care professional. Chapters 4,5 and the Palliative care chapter were particularly inspiring to me and hopefully to all health care professionals who read it. -- Dr Karel Wildschut, Cambridge and Peterborough Foundation NHS Trust\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book that is refreshingly centred on meeting the needs of people with dementia. It provides the technical background information that clinicians need whilst not losing sight of the purpose of caring. -- Prof Alison Leary, PhD FRCN FQNI, Chair of Healthcare \u0026amp; Workforce Modelling\u003cbr\u003eRahman and Howard's excellent primer on the essentials of dementia absolutely lives up to the promise of its subtitle: \"Everything you really need to know.\" Though its ambition is huge - to transform they way society thinks and acts about dementia by improving understanding and awareness among professionals and the public alike - it delivers with aplomb. The authors write with great clarity and succinctness, covering every aspect of good dementia care from ethics and law to best evidence-based care and, above all, treating patients with respect and dignity. An excellent read for doctors, nurses, carers and the interested public. -- Dr Rachel Clarke, speciality doctor in palliative medicine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003eForeword.
