HEARING THE PERSON WITH DEMENTIA: PERSON-CENTRED APPROACHES TO COMMUNICATION FOR FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS
Book ID/图书代码： 06930011B44725
English Summary/英文概要： Losing the ability to communicate can be a frustrating and difficult experience for people with dementia, their families and carers. As the illness progresses, the person with dementia may find it increasingly difficult to express themselves clearly, and to understand what others say. Written with both family and professional carers in mind, this book clearly explains what happens to communication as dementia progresses, how this may affect an individual’s memory, language and senses, and how carers might need to adapt their approach as a result. Advocating a person-centred approach to dementia care, the author describes methods of verbal and non-verbal communication, techniques for communicating with people who can no speak or move easily, and strategies for communicating more effectively in specific day-to-day situations, including at mealtimes, whilst helping the person with dementia to bathe or dress, and whilst out and about. Exercises at the end of each chapter encourage the carer to reflect on their learning and apply it to their own circumstances, and guidelines for creating a life story with the person with dementia as a means of promoting good communication are also included. This concise, practical book is essential reading for family caregivers, professional care staff, and all those who work with, or who are training to work with, people with dementia.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对于痴呆症患者及其家人和照看者而言，丧失与人交流的能力是令人痛苦和沮丧的。随着病情的恶化，痴呆症患者会发现越来越难以清晰地表述自己的想法，也越来越难以理解他人所言。本书作者在写作过程中始终将痴呆症患者的家人及其照看者铭记于心，向读者清晰地阐述了在病情恶化的过程中，这种交流会发生怎样的变化，这种变化对患者的记忆力、语言表述力及理解力有何影响，以及照看者最终可能需要怎样因地制宜地运用这一治疗法。提倡这种个人中心治疗法，作者向我们讲解了在具体的生活情景中，包括用餐、洗澡、换衣服或在外溜达时，与这些说话和行动不便的患者们怎样进行无声和有声的交流。书中每章节后设置的练习可鼓励读者检验自己所学的情况并将之运用到自己的生活中。同时，本书还附有如何与痴呆症患者创造美好生活的指导手册，以此来改善交流。此书简洁、实用，对于家庭护工、专业护理人员以及正在接受训练的痴呆症患者的照看者而言都是一个良师益友。(兼职翻译-XMM)
