Coping with Alzheimer's
A Caregiver's Emotional Survival Guide
by Rose Oliver, Ph.D. & Frances A. Bock, Ph.D.
|
Alzheimer's is a disease,
not a disgrace. |
Coping with Alzheimer's is a practical as well as philosophical guide for caregivers of patients stricken with this disease. Caregivers are given invaluable insight into coping with the emotional challenges of taking care of a hopelessly ill patient.
Several concepts in caregiving are examined: denial, anger, guilt, shame, depression, stress, acceptance. These concepts are analyzed and practical guides are provided on how to deal with them successfully.
Coping with Alzheimer's is a compassionate as well as rational look at the life and tasks of caregivers, wether they be a lay person or a professional. Many examples of coping are presented in the form of dialogues with various caregivers. The authors urge potential caregivers to accept that the patient is no longer the same person that they were, and therefore need to practice emotional distancing.
Caring for a loved one who has Alzheimer's can be stressful and depressing, unless one has the proper tools for coping with such a task. This book provides such tools, and is a must read for anyone taking care of an Alzheimer's patient.
