Counseling the Alzheimer's Caregiver: A Resource for Healthcare Professionals
Author: American Medical Association
Provides proven strategies to help caregivers deal with Alzheimer's Disease and draws on lessons learned during 15 years of empirical clinical treatment intervention. This manual is an invaluable resource for health care providers who work with families caring for an Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patient. Providing proven strategies to help caregivers deal with the enormous physical and emotional stress of caring for a loved one with AD, it can help significantly improve the level of patient care.
This resource outlines, in detail, the symptoms of AD at each stage and the roles of caregiver and counselor from the initial diagnosis to after the patient's death. It teaches health care providers how to create for caregivers individualized intervention plans that cover everything from managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of AD to maintaining their own well-being. The resource also provides information on formal support services for patients living at home, as well as guidance on making the decision to place the patient in a residential facility. More than 80 percent of AD patients receive care from family or other non-formal help. With AD expected to affect an estimated 14 million people by the mid-21st century, this book is an increasingly important addition to your library.Doody Review Services
Reviewer: David O. Staats, MD (University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center)
Description: This book describes a counseling program developed by NYU for caregivers of a loved one who has Alzheimer's disease.
Purpose: Its purpose is to provide a summary of the evidence-based counseling strategies that work best with persons caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease. The book gives a description of the counselilng process.
Audience: Social workers will find this most of use. Others who counsel family members caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease will find this bok useful. Healthcare professionals caring for the demented also will find this book of use.
Features: Woven throughout the discussion are vignettes that clearly get across the message of what is at issue with the counseling. At the end of each of the 13 chapters there is a summary of the points covered.
Assessment: More healthcare professionals should know the best ways of counseling family members caring dor a demented person. It would have been helpful to have the citation of the original research and to publish some of the caregiver assessment measures. Not all dementing illnesses are Alzheimer's disease, and some word about any special approaches or features in other dementing illnesses would be of use. This book does not discuss how one arranges for the counseling described:access is a pertinent issue here. With the burgeoning population of the demented, and the desire of caregivers to manage them at home, this book is a good contribution to the field.
What People Are Saying
Peter Rabins
Counseling the Alzheimer's Caregiveris certainly of interest to many physicians and non-physicians who have contact with AD patients and their families. The strength of what is presented here is that it has been tested in an efficacy trial. I would highly recommend it.

At long last -- a research evidence-based practice guide for counseling Alzheimer's families. Full of vivid vignettes and practical "how-to's", this book pulls together what we know about Alzheimer's care and families in a cohesive whole for any health or human service professional. I bet it will become a desk reference for the full range of disciplines and professionals working with Alzheimer's families.

Very useful resource for many workers involved in the provision of care to Alzheimer's victims and their families.I would recommend it to others.
