At Wit's End is a straightforward summary of leading advice for
caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease, written without
technical jargon and impractical nuance. About 33 percent of the
population eventually will provide care for someone with
Alzheimer's. The strain of caring for a loved one with this disease
can be enormous, yet the reward of enhancing a loved one's quality
of life is beyond measure. So, where to begin? Many books delve
into other specific areas of Alzheimer's care, emphasizing the
financial and legal challenges, as well as myriad medical treatment
needs of those experiencing the disease. Unique among these
offerings, At Wit's End explains the psychiatric and psychological
aspects of Alzheimer's, and does so in a holistic and practical
manner. Kraus focuses on the whole person across his or her full
social, psychological, physical, and spiritual life to provide as
complete a picture as possible of the changes that are in play.
With this broad, thoughtful, and grounded approach, family members,
clincians, and caregivers are better able to discover and make wise
choices from a wealth of effective interventions in all areas of
care. It also allows them to care for themselves and their families
in the dynamic, supportive care process. Find out how Alzheimer's
can be distinguished from normal aging and other diseases that
mimic its symptoms; how the disorder affects changes in functional
abilities and how the daily competence of a person with Alzheimer's
is viewed by psychiatric and legal communities; how rational
thinking is distorted, leading to a wide array of unusual and often
uncharacteristic behaviors like agitation, impatience, wandering,
and inappropriate expressions of sexuality; and what medical,
psychiatric, and psychological treatments are available to help. At
Wit's End gives families, clinicians, and caregivers a new outlook
on Alzheimer's disease.
