Taylor & Francis The Human Factor in Nursing Home Care
Book SynopsisIn an attempt to challenge the prevailing attitudes and images of nursing homes in America, the authors have written a touching book about the people and the relationships that are a part of nursing home care. Their extensive study of and experience with nursing home residents and caregivers reveal that our negative and often painful thoughts about nursing homes are not always well-founded. The authors effectively use monologue and dialogue to take the reader into the world of the nursing home to observe the work of the nursing home staffs, from administrators to housekeepers, as they become surrogate families and friends of the patients. Most moving are the thoughts and words of the residents themselves, especially as they describe their initial horror and anger at being in the nursing home, and their feelings of abandonment and loss of self-esteem. Valuable for both undergraduate and graduate courses in nursing, social work, psychology, death and dying, pastoral care and counselinTable of ContentsContents Preface Introduction Part I: Engagement The Encounter The Executioners The Prisoners in 107A and 216A Part II: Players The Performers in the Drama The Caregivers Administrators, Supervisors, and the Underground Part III: Transformation Celebration Discoveries A New Vision

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.

Policy Press Beyond Successful and Active Ageing
Book SynopsisThis controversial book argues that concepts such as `successful’ and `active’ ageing are potentially dangerous paradigms that reflect and exacerbate inequalities in older populations. Essential reading for anyone seeking to make sense of social constructions of ageing in contemporary societies.Trade Review"This book challenges the pervasive model of successful aging through both cogent critique and penetrating analyses of its policy and practice implications. The proposed alternative frame of `model aging’ is a unique and important contribution to knowledge and understanding." Anne Martin-Matthews, Unversity of British Columbia, Canada"Anyone who uses “active” and “successful” ageing as concepts in their policy, research or advocacy work, needs to think carefully about what these mean. Virpi Timonen’s book provides a valuable, if sometimes challenging, aid to doing this." Judith Davey, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand"Timonen is a fine theorist and critical thinker. This book will challenge readers to revisit their notions of a good old age."

New Harbinger Publications The Helping Professional's Guide to End-of-Life
Book SynopsisNearly half of people at the end of life will receive hospice care, but few psychologists, nurses, physicians, chaplains, and hospice workers have been trained specifically to recognize and address the psychological, social, and emotional issues that may arise in patients who are dying. Patients in the midst of advanced terminal illness may experience a variety of distressing emotions, and may feel anxious, frightened, regretful, or desperate. This guide was created specifically to guide helping professionals of all kinds through the process of working through patients' psychological issues to allow them peace and comfort in their final moments.The Helping Professional's Guide to End of Life Care clarifies the spiritual and emotional care that patients need and presents an evidence based approach integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), transpersonal psychotherapy, hypnosis, mindfulness, and guided imagery to help patients manage emotional distress at the end of life. Through case conceptualizations and detailed treatment planning guidance, readers learn to formulate comprehensive assessment and treatment plans for patients and gain skills that will help them manage the emotional intensity of this work. This secular, professional treatment model can be applied to patients of any religious or spiritual background. The book also addresses integrating the patient's therapeutic team with the medical team, addressing the emotional needs of friends and family of the dying, crisis intervention for suicidal patients, working with clients on psychotropic medications, and how helping professionals can manage their own emotions to become more effective clinicians.

Allen & Unwin A Good Life to the End: Taking control of our
Book SynopsisA huge majority of people at the end of their lives want to die at home, but only a small number manage to do this. This vital book asks why. Many of us have experienced an elderly loved one coming to the end of their life in a hospital - over-treated, infantilised and, worst of all, facing a death without dignity. Families are being herded into making decisions that are not to the benefit of the patient. Professor Ken Hillman has worked in intensive care since its inception. But he is appalled by the way the ICU has become a place where the frail, soon-to-die and dying are given unnecessary operations and life-prolonging treatments without their wishes being taken into account.A Good Life to the End will embolden and equip us to ask about the options that doctors in hospital should offer us but mostly don't. It lets us know that there are other, gentler options for patients and their loved ones that can be much more sympathetic to the final wishes of most people facing the end of their lives. An invaluable support for the elderly as well as their families, and a rallying cry for anyone who's had to witness the unnecessary suffering of a loved one, A Good Life to the End will spark debate, challenge the status quo and change lives.

Book SynopsisIn Reducing Stress-Related Behaviours in people with Dementia, Chris Bonner has written a thoroughly entertaining, yet highly instructive, manual for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias... I highly recommend that everyone who encounters persons with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, routinely or occasionally, read through this manual. Even for seasoned professionals or family members who have given 10 years to the care of a spouse, there are insightful nuggets that will more than offset the modest cost of the book.'- Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books'I found this book to be both clear and accessible in terms of readability. It is a book that I believe would be a useful resource to care staff in a variety of settings. The beauty of it is that it is short, inexpensive, easy to read and understand - a book which care staff can perhaps dip into, without taking them away from their caring role too much.' - Signpost'The book is completely person orientated with the help of anecdotes. Original research sources are acknowledged without countless footnotes. There is a carefully compiled bibliography and a good index. To have achieved so much in a slim volume is very commendable and it is obvious that this should be a required text for every formal carer with copies available in staff rooms as chapters could be the subject of seminars or workshops as well as solving tricky problems in the very demanding work of caring for people with dementia whose behaviour can be difficult to understand.'- London Centre For Dementia Care'This invaluable book provides a wealth of practical strategies to prevent and reduce stress related behaviour in people with dementia. The author has drawn information from numerous carers with whom he has worked and his personal experience in caring for and enjoying the company of people with dementia. Throughout the book, case vignettes and small caricature illustrations are appropriately used to enhance the reading material and provide light humour. I would thoroughly recommend this book to all nursing and therapy staff involved with people with dementia.'- Occupational Therapy with Older PeopleThis practical book provides simple and imaginative ways to prevent and reduce stress-related behaviours in people with dementia in residential care.The author's approach is based on maximizing personal expression and fulfilment and recovering access to familiar, enjoyable and meaningful activities. He suggests strategies for managing common problems with feeding, bathing, toileting and sleep, looks at how to understand and cope with wandering, agitation and inappropriate sexual activity, and discusses ways of defusing aggressive behaviour. He also explains how to enhance care home environments and staff communication skills, and suggests a variety of helpful activities and therapies.Written in a clear, accessible style, this book will be an invaluable resource for residential care workers and the families and carers of people with dementia.Table of ContentsIntroduction. 1.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Primary Care and Dementia
Book SynopsisThis practice and training guide is written with the needs of health and social care professionals working with people with dementia in mind. Drawing together theoretical considerations and examples of good practice, the authors look at the different stages of dementia and explain how to:* make the initial diagnosis - including guidelines for distinguishing dementia from depression;* convey the diagnosis to the person with dementia and their family - outlining the use of cognitive tests and the role of anti-dementia drugs;* support the client through lifestyle adjustments;* care for end-stage dementia patients - looking for example at the choice between community or institutional care.The book is illustrated with case studies and includes a chapter on understanding and responding to the needs of the carer - such as access to information and support - and the effect on their own health. Outlining the shared knowledge base required by health and social care practitioners, this useful and accessible work book will also facilitate inter-disciplinary and inter-agency working.Trade ReviewThis Good Practice Guide was created to assist primary care teams in the management of dementia and most adequately meets this objective. The guide is short and easy to read, enabling any member of the primary care team to pick it up and become well informed in a short period of time. It is also well set out so that members of primary care teams can revisit pertinent chapters or tables as needed. The authors have opted for discussion of case studies to illustrate concepts rather than present academic facts and figures. They include a wide range of cases that emphasise the real face of dementia in primary care. This approach significantly increases the guide's practical utility. There are many personal notes throughout the guide from people involved in the lives of those with dementia. These personal touches give the reader some insight into the reality of living with dementia...

It uses case-histories to develop creative problem-solving among practitioners, while outlining obstacles to good practice in dementia care in the community. It is written as a guide to action and with its pragmatic intentions and clear language it should appeal to a variety of clinicians. -- Community PractitionerThe Good Practice Guide was created to assist primary care teams in the management of dementia and most adequately meets this objective. The guide is short and easy to read, enabling any member of the primary care team to pick it up and become well informaed in a short period of time. It is also well set out so that members of primary care teams can revisit pertinent chapters or tables needed. The authors have opted for discussion of case studies to illustrate concepts rather than present academic facts and figures. They include a wide range of cases that emphasise the real face of dementia in primary care. This approach significantly increase the guide's practical utility. There are many personal notes throughout the guide from people involved in the lives of those with dementia. These personal touches give the reader some insight into the reality of living with dementia.The text deals well with many difficult issues for primary care teams, including when and where to refer patients, how often to follow-up, disclosing a diagnosis, caring for carers, refusal of help, medications, joint work with other agencies, the basics of secondary problems, how to avoid crisis, neglect and abuse...
