Produktbeschreibung
This is a practical book, aimed at providing training and guidance for staff members in long-term care facilities. The goal is to help staff understand and solve the wide range of psychiatric and behavioral problems which are encountered on a day-to-day basis. Numerous clinical illustrations are presented. This material is invaluable for all team members: nurses, physicians, social workers, psychologists, and occupational therapists. It is especially helpful for frontline health care aides who work most closely with the residents, and for supervisors and administrators. As a result, it also serves as a useful tool for teaching students. The emphasis is on training all members of the staff to provide the highest quality of care, in the most cost-effective and productive manner. Most of the authors have worked together at Baycrest (a large university affiliated, multilevel geriatric center, which has an international reputation for its excellence in the care of the elderly) or at other University of Toronto teaching hospitals.

Rezensionen
"- should be required reading. For the nursing assistants or aides who have the most frequent direct contact with residents, it is even more critical." From the Foreword by Ira R. Katz,MD, PhD, University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia VA Medical Center

"A wonderful text for medical and nonmedical staff working in longterm care settings. I know of no other single source manual which is so comprehensive in range, yet so easy to read and access critical information... interesting new chapters on topics such as group psychotherapy and sexuality have been added." Bruce G. Pollock,MD, PhD, FRCPC, President-Elect, American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry; University of Toronto.

"An excellent book....a must for nursing directors and administrators planning teaching curricula for their staff. [It] should be required reading for any psychiatrist starting a nursing home practice. A very helpful teaching tool for psychiatric residents..." - Susan K. Ball,MD, writing about the previous edition in Psychosomatics.
