Research-based advice for people who care for someone with dementia
Nearly half of U.S. citizens over the age of 85 are suffering
from some kind of dementia and require care. "Loving Someone Who
Has Dementia" is a new kind of caregiving book. It's not about the
usual techniques, but about how to manage on-going stress and
grief. The book is for caregivers, family members, friends,
neighbors as well as educators and professionals--anyone touched by
the epidemic of dementia. Dr. Boss helps caregivers find hope in
"ambiguous loss"--having a loved one both here and not here,
physically present but psychologically absent.Outlines seven
guidelines to stay resilient while caring for someone who has
dementia Discusses the meaning of relationships with individuals
who are cognitively impaired and no longer as they used to be
Offers approaches to understand and cope with the emotional strain
of care-giving
Boss's book builds on research and clinical experience, yet the
material is presented as a conversation. She shows you a way to
embrace rather than resist the ambiguity in your relationship with
someone who has dementia.
