Dementia Beyond Drugs: Changing the Culture of Care PDF
Where was this book when I needed it? My father recently died in a nursing home. He was zonked out with Haldol within the first few days, losing his ability to speak and function. I see this as a deprivation of his humanity. I hope this book reaches the people who are in charge of our parents and grandparents and that it convinces them that patient management doesn't come in pill form.By 7451
This book covers a lot of ground by incorporating best practices from the most relevant literature written on this subject, along with an incredibly deep and thoughtful insight. The author's story telling and writing skills are a really nice bonus - the text is easy to read and full of helpful suggestions for anyone interested in learning about dementia.By DoJo.Johnson
Unlike any other book on this subject, this one offers a lot of hope as it emphasizes the many opportunities that lie inherent in the disease - a very novel approach to looking at this issue.
I expect that this book will quickly become the "bible" for institutional and family caregivers alike.
