| Annotation | The uniqueness of geropsychology practice in long-term care is demonstrated in this book, which has been co-published simultaneously as Clinical Gerontologist, volume 25, numbers 1-4, 2002. Contributors highlight the multifaceted ways in which direct clinical services must be modified from traditional outpatient services. Articles highlight the impact of different settings in which older people receive mental health care, not only in nursing homes and other residential environments, but also in the community. Section 1 - modifications of traditional psychotherapy techniques - considers group therapy, R-E-M psychotherapy (Restore, Empower, Mobilize), use of positive core memories in LTC, and management of disruptive behaviour. Section 2 examines multidisciplinary and systematic issues, including family work, and methods for treating depression. Section 3 - ethical and confidentiality quandaries - considers ethical dilemmas faced in long-term care settings, such as informed consent. (RH). |
