Above all, is a totally new individual experience and different for each person. To look at the complexity of these differences is the aim of this book. In \"Being Old is Different\" some basic person-centred principles and their implementation in everyday care are described; the themes that become relevant in the last chapters of life, and their impact on care for old people, are highlighted.The book aims to demonstrate why the Person-Centred Approach is particularly useful in this field; how it can be transferred into practice; how it helps to improve the life quality of old people and, at the same time, make work more satisfying for carers. Marlis Portner's book is not about specific nursing or therapy methods but about fundamental principles, which are valuable in different areas of care. The term 'carer', therefore, is used here for all those who, professionally or voluntarily, work with old people, and the term 'care' embraces nursing as well as therapeutic and supportive activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the book colour and variety are added by the inclusion of telling vignettes which powerfully illustrate both the challenge and the beatuy of those relationships which are crafted by a willingness on the part of the careres to refrain from diagnosis, impulsive reactions and rule-bound responses.Professor Brian Thorne, PCEP 6.4: 295-297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction2 Getting old is a strange experience 3 Seven principles concerning old people4 Essentials for everyday care5 Professional and personal skills6 Specific circumstances to be considered7 Different realities8 Perspectives9 Being old is different ... for people with mental disabilities","brand":"PCCS Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771725054295,"sku":"9781898059998","price":16.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781898059998.jpg?v=1758728874","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/being-old-is-different-person-centred-care-for-old-people-9781898059998","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
