Veteran clinicians offer a unique framework for understanding the
psychological origins of behaviors typical of Alzheimer's and other
dementias, and for providing appropriate care for patients as they
decline. Guidelines are rooted in the theory of retrogenesis in
dementia--that those with the condition regress in stages toward
infancy--as well as knowledge of associated brain damage. The
objective is to meet patients where they are developmentally to
best be able to address the tasks of their daily lives, from eating
and toileting to preventing falls and wandering. This accessible
information gives readers a platform for creating strategies that
are respectful, sensitive, and tailored to individual needs, thus
avoiding problems that result when care is ineffective or
counterproductive. Featured in the coverage: Abilities and
disabilities during the different stages of Alzheimer's disease.
Strategies for keeping the patient's finances safe. Pain in those
with dementia, and why it is frequently ignored. "Help! I've lost
my mother and can't find her!" Sexuality and intimacy in persons
with dementia. Instructive vignettes of successful caring
interventions. Given the projected numbers of individuals expected
to develop dementing conditions, Care Giving for Alzheimer's
Disease will find immediate interest among clinical psychologists,
health psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and primary
care physicians.
