Older People, Nursing & Mental Health

Older People, Nursing & Mental Health by Alan Crump Bsc Rgn Rmn

Addresses the complex problems posed by the elderly people with mental health problems. Suitable for qualified nurses or for teaching health care assistants and students, this book considers such issues as the care continuum through acute to continuing care, and different care environments.

"This book explains the most common mental health needs of older people, covering the theory of the development of mental illness in this age group, therapeutic approaches, and practical interventionsKey areas discussed include attitudes of practitioners, the challenging of stereotypical views, and guidance on good care practices." Age Concern 'Information Circular', March 1999 "A most welcome addition to the literature for all those working in this specialist area. Acknowledgement that expert nursing does take place within this area is a breath of fresh air and a fact of which all working in this field should frequently be reminded. The book covers a wide and relevant list of topics, is well supported by references and above all is interesting to read. This interest is generated by the spirit of debate and discussion of the contributors. This challenges the reader to stop and reflect upon their own practice, service developments and the key tasks of meeting the older person's unique needs. ...a very useful and enjoyable text." Aging and Mental Health, 2000
