Abstract

As we enter 2014, an accelerating interest in abuse has arisen due to the implementation of community care policies relying upon informal care and a relentless political campaign to legitimize an enforced obligation to care. The use of care management technologies that focus on assessment and inspection, can, in this policy climate, become a means of surveillance and enforcement of informal caring. It is argued that Michel Foucault offers a set of strategies (Foucault 1977: 205) for understanding how the discourses on community care construct older people's experiences and their identities, as

Professional stakeholders evaluate the bridges and barriers to crossing network lin

Abstract

Cognitive impairment in older adults usually progresses slowly and is caused by a variety of brain diseases, most commonly Alzheimer's disease. The resulting memory loss and impaired executive function call for therapeutic strategies that will optimize functioning. Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Cognitive Impairment (IPT-ci), builds upon traditional IPT to improve coping ability and help older patients and their caregivers manage the effects of cognitive impairment, particularly in the early phase when behavior changes are often misunderstood. IPT-ci can also provide a template for long term
