| Annotation | This book focuses on Geriatric Skills Enhancement (GSE), an interactive, multi-modal group programme which deals with problems in old age such as social isolation, depression, grief, loss of mobility, and memory loss due to cognitive impairment. Intervention strategies of the GSE include reminiscence, bibliotherapy, exploring values and roles, sensory awareness, music and movement, phototherapy, humour, spirituality, and art and expression. The final section on financial support reflects the situation in the United States. |
