Hand massage is a positive and meaningful way of reaching out and providing comfort to those who are elderly, ill or nearing the end of life, and it can be particularly effective for people with dementia who may respond well to positive non-verbal interaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers inspiration for all caregivers looking for an alternative way to support and connect with a family member, friend or patient in their care. It teaches an easy 30 minute hand massage sequence and offers clear instructions and detailed illustrations to guide the reader through each step. Combining light massage strokes with focused awareness, and paying close attention to points on energy pathways, this book introduces a structured way of sharing touch that is grounded in Western and Eastern massage traditions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGentle touch therapy is ideal for healthcare professionals and family members alike, and has been shown to have physical and emotional benefits for both the giver and the receiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Highly Commended in the Popular Medicine category of the 2012 BMA Medical Book Awards*\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'provides thoughtful and evidence based advice and tuition on working with this client group, and a reminder of the importance of seeing a person as a \"whole\" and not just their condition.'\u003c\/p\u003e -- College of Occupational Therapy Specialist Section, Older People Newsletter\u003cbr\u003eThis is a clever little book in that it carefully balances Eastern philosophy of the body-energy-spirit system of integrative care with evidence-based studies focusing on the effectiveness and benefits of hand massage...

They both put forward simple and unthreatening exercises that can be led by staff at any level.

Caregivers will find practical information on ways to use touch and hand massage to ease the suffering and enhance the quality of life for those who are terminally ill or who have advanced dementia.

Drawing from sources as varied as mindfulness practices, research, Chinese Medicine, and moving personal stories, the authors provide caregivers with a clear path to offering simple hand massage, and to the benefits and profound sense of connection that often result. -- Lucy Liben, Dean of the Massage Therapy Program at Swedish Institute, College of Health Sciences, New York\u003cbr\u003eIn my work at the nursing home I found that when I used a hand massage it helped residents feel calm and cared for. It was like meditating, or taking a drink of cool water, creating a sense of peace and quiet. We discovered that when we share touch we not only send a message, we also receive one.

He had made his preparations and had said most of his good-byes. Then he was offered the chance to participate in a clinical trial. Six months later he was not only still alive, but planning a long distance walk for charity and writing this book about his experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith humor and honesty, his story chronicles the uneven path back from the brink of death. Combining knowledge drawn from his counseling work with other dying people and his unique personal experience, he describes what dying really feels like and explains the physical processes it involves. He also raises profound questions about medical trials and palliative care, and especially about our attitudes to life and death, and the way we approach death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon his extensive professional experience as a counselor in palliative care, Houghton raises many profound questions in each of the areas he discusses, and is not afraid to admit his own previous misconceptions…this is a book that contributes significantly to our knowledge of the natural dying process. -- Journal of Beliefs and Values\u003cbr\u003eTo me, the strength of the book was about its ability to refocus and question the care provided, as a recipient rather than a provider. This presented me with some thought-provoking questioning and reasoning induced in my own reflective practice. -- British Journal of Occupational Therapy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Houghton gives us an education on the process of dying and death itself. He witnesses dying and death from the outside as a counselor in palliative care and observing those who were dying, their death and their carers. He then through his own seemingly terminal illness, experienced the process first hand, to the point of death. Then as a participant in a new clinical trial he was given a return to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith humour and honesty he relays his own bumpy path on moving towards death and back from the brink, together with his counseling work with other peoples' dying processes. He gives an in-depth picture of the physical deterioration processes of the body and resultant physical pain leading to death, also detailing the medical processes involved. Equally well described is what it feels like: the psychological processes and emotional pain, through the stages of denial, anger and hopelessness to acceptance and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Towards Wholeness\u003cbr\u003eWith great honesty, sensitivity and humor Peter Houghton has chronicled and reflected upon his physical, mental and spiritual journey, which was far from being without set backs and deep self-questioning... This is a deep and challenging book and offers a rewarding read. -- Plus\u003cbr\u003ePeter Houghton had been a counselor in palliative care, Then he experienced what appeared to be a mild heart attack but which turned out to be cardiomyopathy, a chronic disorder affecting the muscle of the heart. Although drugs could control his condition to some extent, slowly, imperceptibly, it worsened until he was weeks from death. At the 11th hour, a doctor friend read a notice of a clinical trial of the Jarvik Heart Assist Device for end stage cardiomyopathy patients, which led to a pioneering operation to install a pump to take over the failing left ventricle of Peter's heart. I was eager to read Peter's resulting book because of the probably unique set of experiences he brought to the writing of it. Not only had he no doubt derived many insights from working for many years with dying patients but also he had actually experienced the final stages of dying himself-yet was able to report back on that experience. As someone who has cared for a dying relative and worked as a volunteer in a hospice, I was hoping to learn something from Peter's account. I did indeed learn much from it…Houghton personally is still struggling to make sense of his restored life and the renewal of his relationships. At 60 he doesn't want to return to work, and he never wants to counsel a dying person again. Unsure why, he suggests that it might be because of having seen the things from the perspective of the counseled. That is a particularly salutary reflection to take away from this book -- Human Givens\u003cbr\u003eIn On Death, Dying and Not Dying, Peter Houghton tells his own story. A palliative care counselor, he was given weeks to live. This book tells how he prepared for dying, until a new clinical trial gave him his life back. In the midst of this moving tale, there is much useful information. -- Church Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is appropriate for the general public as well as students and clinicians. The author has a conversational style of writing that is both easy to read and refreshing. The insight he is able to offer is unique. He identifies not only his emotions during subsequent events, but is able to link these to appropriate interventions that clinicians can make.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps the most intriguing feature of this book is the connection the author is able to make with the reader. Although the subject matter is difficult, the style in which the information is presented places appropriate emphasis on the emotional and technical aspects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough this topic is not new, this is the only book that provides clinicians with an insight into a patients experience while also providing direction for clinical practice.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Lisa Stepp PhD, RN, APN, AOCN, CRNH (Private Practice)\u003cbr\u003eThis book was written after his surgery, although it has much more than a simple account of his recovery and subsequent events. As a counselor in palliative care, he has experience and knowledge of death and the dying process; much of the book is taken up his thoughts on the subject, illustrated with various anecdotes. He also describes the actual process of dying, and outlines treatment strategies for symptom control. -- Bulletin of Medical Ethics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface. 1.

Following a pathway from initial conversations about end of life to care in the last days of life and after death, it covers assessing need and planning care, co-ordinating care between different agencies, and ensuring quality in different settings, such as at home, in a hospice, or in hospital. Good practice guidance on communication, ensuring the person's needs are met, support for their family and how to facilitate a good death is given.

They want care which manages distressing symptoms in the most effective way; they want to be treated with compassion, dignity and respect; they want to have the opportunity to set their affairs in order and to be surrounded by those people who are important to them. The implication of meeting those needs, as the core message of this book proclaims, is that end of life care is everybody's business. -- From the Foreword by Professor Sir Mike Richards, Chief Inspector of Hospitals, Care Quality Commission, UK\u003cbr\u003eThis clearly written and comprehensive book will be a valuable source of information and resource for any professional or student interested in improving the practical delivery of end of life care.

Its authoritative knowledge base relies on the work of the National End of Life Care Programme in England's Department of Health over several years. Its strong focus on flexible, holistic quality of care will make it valuable for specialist and general practitioners in hospital and community health and social care services. -- Malcolm Payne, consultant in social work and end-of-life care and author of Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care\u003cbr\u003eThis book elegantly captures how the relatively new focus on 'end of life care' provides a conceptual framework with which to think in a different way about meeting these new needs and has led to change on a wide front…Readers can find interesting synopses of interdisciplinary perspectives on death, dying and epidemiological transition, together with up to date advice about best practice in care planning, communication and coordination of services; all set out in a highly accessible manner. In their discussions, the authors do not shy away from delineating new challenges ahead that will require all of us to work together to continue to transform end of life care so that it better meets the needs of all those facing death, whatever their age or diagnosis, and wherever they are cared for. -- Jane Seymour, Sue Ryder Care Professor of Palliative and End of Life Studies, University of Nottingham, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements. 1.

Covering Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism and Buddhism, it provides the key information needed to help multi-disciplinary healthcare staff offer the best, culturally-appropriate care to sick children and their families. The book discusses daily, palliative, end of life and bereavement care in a range of settings, including hospitals, hospices, schools and home. The information provided covers those aspects of the religions discussed that are essential for healthcare staff to understand, including modesty and hygiene, taboos, food and prohibited products, age-related issues, sacred objects, visitors, and the expectations of the family. It includes important information on the issues of disability and mental health in each faith as well as addressing the significance within different faith traditions of the transitions from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  A comprehensive resource that uniquely focuses on the care needs of sick children from different faiths, this book will be of immeasurable value to multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, bereavement support and palliative care workers, carers, counsellors, chaplains and arts therapists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...I was left a little in awe at what these people were managing to do. I was pleased to see Nash's statement that his team's work was not in the interests of some multicultural political correctness, but because they believed their paediatric patients and their families would get better care. This book has got a lot to offer anybody who works in palliative care in a multifaith setting, not just the chaplaincy team. -- Roger Woodruff, International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care Newsletter\u003cbr\u003eThe book is full of cultural and religious helps that concern the entire healthcare treatment team from routine care to palliative and end-of-life care...the book is truly a resource for all bedside clinicians, including professional chaplains, nursing, medicine and other therapeutic specialty clinicians, too. Each chapter focuses on care for a child and family from each of the faith traditions. A Buddhist mother's reflection on spiritual and religious care needs during the premature birth of her twins was particularly enlightening and informative. Then in the final chapter, Paul Nash does a nice job of highlighting spiritual assessment tools and setting up spiritual care that is reflective of pathway care. This book will help new chaplains and seasoned chaplains who need a thorough resource and guide for pediatric palliative and end-of-life care, and the care preceding those difficult and trying times. -- George M.
