This book argues that such a society must work to ensure honour and respect for those marginalized, and even ghettoized, by forgetfulness. The book encourages humane and dignified care for people with dementia by examining the moral basis for such care against the background of cultural trends that threaten it. It argues that maintaining the emotional and relational well-being of those with dementia depends on caregivers who see dignity even in those severely affected by this kind of condition. It addresses specific ethical issues of interest to health care professionals, families and affected individuals, including topics such as diagnostic disclosure, restrictions on driving privileges, the extension of autonomy through advance directives, behaviour control, quality of life in relation to treatment limitations, hospice care and euthanasia. In cases of profound dementia, the book concludes, appropriate care focuses on well-being rather than on the intentional prolongation of life. With examples of actual case experiences described throughout, this book is a useful resource for family members and health professionals whose lives have been shaped by loyalty to those with dementia, for individuals who are themselves at risk of developing dementia, and for students of biomedical ethics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50111986696465,"sku":"CIN0801851742G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51744337789201,"sku":"CIN0801851742VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801851742.jpg?v=1751138672"},{"product_id":"dignity-for-deeply-forgetful-people-book-stephen-g-post-9781421442501","title":"Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People","description":"For caregivers of deeply forgetful people: a book that combines new ethics guidelines with an innovative program on how to communicate and connect with people with Alzheimer's.  How do we approach a \"deeply forgetful\" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing self-identity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of—and find renewed hope in—surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline.   In this book, Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of \"hypercognitive\" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity. With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not \"gone\" but \"differently abled.\" Post covers key practical topics such as:   • understanding the experience of dementia • noticing subtle expressions of continuing selfhood, including \"paradoxical lucidity\"  • perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care and everything in between, as gleaned from the voices of caregivers • how to communicate optimally and use language effectively  • the value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity • the value of trained \"dementia companion\" dogs  At a time when medical advances to cure these conditions are still out of reach and the most recent drugs have shown limited effectiveness, Post argues that focusing discussion and resources on the relational dignity of these individuals and the respite needs of their caregivers is vital. Grounding ethics on the equal worth of all conscious human beings, he provides a cautionary perspective on preemptive assisted suicide based on cases that he has witnessed. He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic justice in an American system where they and their loved ones receive only leftover scraps.

Although the answer remains unclear, researchers have established that there is an association between generous emotions, helping behaviour, and longevity. Increasingly, emotional states and their related behaviours are being studied by mainstream scientists in relation to health promotion and disease prevention. If helping affect or behaviour can be linked with health and longevity, there are significant implications for how we think about human nature and prosperity. Although studies show that those who are physically or psychologically overwhelmed by the needs of others do experience a stressful burden that can have significant negative health consequences, little attention has been given to whether there are health benefits from helping behaviour that is fulfilling, not overwhelming. In this book, Stephen Post brings together distinguished researchers from basic science to address this question in objective terms. The book provides heuristic models, from evolution and neuroscience, to explain the association between altruism and health, and examines potential public health and practical implications of the existing data.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346237133073,"sku":"CIN019518291XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52516026122513,"sku":"NLS9780195182910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53200487252241,"sku":"GOR010904617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53203892437265,"sku":"GOR010748859","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/019518291X.jpg?v=1751070035"},{"product_id":"hidden-gifts-of-helping-book-stephen-g-post-9780470887813","title":"The Hidden Gifts of Helping","description":"The world's religions affirm it to be so and recent research across a number of disciplines tell us that \"Helping others not only benefits those we assist but is good for us as well.\" The recent and astonishingly generous outpouring of help and donations in response to the earthquake in Haiti is a clear demonstration of this phenomenon, but what if we could be convinced to make helping others a way of life, even when times are hard?

On the road, we can find God, redemption, forgiveness, and the understanding that we are all connected.  There are no coincidences in this world.  Once every generation comes a book so revelatory and lucid, it reconnects us to our very souls. Stephen G. Post’s God and Love on Route 80 is such a book. Post, lead author of the bestselling When Good Things Happen to Good People, was the perfect child and A-student until he took off in the family car, compelled by a persistent vision, his “blue angel dream.” Crossing America on Route 80, his unlikely adventure culminates in a shocking encounter that sets the stage for the rest of his life, a path connected by synchronicities which Post perceived as guidance from God and proof of humanity’s fundamental oneness, Infinite Mind. Truly a story for the ages, God and Love on Route 80 touches on the essential meaning of life and the messages we may all miss unless we begin paying close attention.

Post explores the mysteries and the wonder of Godly love. This all-important love is personal, unconditional, unlimited, generative, and omnipresent. The title alludes to Isaiah 35, how Godly love is said to plant a rose in our hearts precisely when we feel like a desert with no more love to give.    Post draws on his life experiences and works at the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love as he intersperses personal anecdotes with spiritual truths and research on human happiness. In the process, he defines the concept of Godly love and illustrates how important it can be in our lives-not only emotionally and spiritually but physically as well. \"Godly love,\" he writes, \"is the only foundation in the universe that we can really lean on.\"    We all have deserts in life, so we all need Godly love. Without it, the downward slide to cynicism, hostility, and cool indifference can be too easy. These meditations on the subject will nurture our confidence in the power of a love greater than our own when we need it most.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52806373376273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52806373474577,"sku":"GOR014625436","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781599471518.jpg?v=1764214149"},{"product_id":"inquiries-in-bioethics-book-stephen-g-post-9780878405381","title":"Inquiries in Bioethics","description":"The biological revolution, with its attendant technological powers to alter nature and human nature, demands fundamental and cautionary reflection on questions of the highest ethical importance. In this thoughtful book on contemporary issues in bioethics, Stephen G. Post explores nine major topics ranging from birth and adolescence to aging and death.  Using an interdisciplinary approach, Post clearly illuminates the issues, probes the ethical alternatives, and examines the cultural changes that shape current presuppositions about the right and good. This book will be of interest to scholars in bioethics, philosophy, and religious studies; health-care professionals; and the general reader concerned with these pressing questions of life and death.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52821111898385,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52821112553745,"sku":"NLS9780878405381","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780878405381.jpg?v=1764331171"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-stephen-g-post.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
