Caring for someone with dementia is often described as one of the most challenging tasks a caregiver can have. The author of this book shared the care of her mother, who had Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. After her mother's death, the author developed the material in this book, which has been implemented in hospitals, nursing homes and adult day health centers. Topics include identifying self-care needs, stress reduction, dealing with feelings, communicating with those who have dementia and grief work. Many exercises and processes are included, encouraging self-understanding, expression and emotional resolution.
