This collection of newly commissioned photographs presents the most compelling homes by influential mid-century designers, such as Russel Wright, George Nakashima, Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eva Zeisel, among others. Intimate as well as revelatory, Williamson’s photographs show these creative homes as they were lived in by their designers: Walter Gropius’s historic Bauhaus home in Massachusetts; Albert Frey’s floating modernist aerie on a Palm Springs rock outcropping; Wharton Esherick’s completely handmade Pennsylvania house, from the organic handcarved staircase to the iconic furniture. Personal and breathtaking by turn—these homes are exemplary studies of domestic modernism at its warmest and most creative.

Ce livre comble un vide dans la littérature sur la démence ; complet et pratique, il montre que l'accueil dans un home peut améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes atteintes de démence. Il s'articule autour des besoins de la personne malade au cours de trois périodes de sa maladie où l'humiliation de la défaillance laisse peu à peu place à la démence.Pour chacune de ces périodes, le texte explore les problèmes des acteurs présents, soit les proches, les soignants et les collaborateurs de l'institution. Il est le résultat d'un travail interdisciplinaire qui a réuni des soignants, des directeurs de home, une directrice d'économie domestique, une experte kinesthésiste, une psychologue et un cuisinier. Rempli d'exemples, le texte est le fruit de plusieurs années d'expériences de professionnels.Ce livre est destiné aussi bien au personnel soignant, aux personnes responsables de maisons de soin qu'aux médecins ou aux architectes et aux autorités prenant part à la conception d'un foyer. Il offre également un outil précieux pour les personnes en relation avec des personnes démentes.

Studies have shown that residents in nursing homes may be exposed to inappropriate medication, especially with psychoactive drugs. This increases the risk of adverse effects. Mission. We identified, evaluated and compiled research on the effect of interventions to reduce inappropriate use of medicines in nursing homes. The report was commissioned by the Norwegian Directorate of Health in connection with the work of Care Plan 2015. Main findings Educational outreach or educational interventions given alone or as part of a complex package aimed at health professionals may in some contexts reduce inappropriate drug use. The quality of evidence for these results in a nursing home setting varies from very low to low. Medical review by pharmacists in an interdisciplinary collaboration with the nursing home physician and other relevant health professionals may in some contexts reduce inappropriate drug use.s The quality of evidence for these results varies from very low to low. A geriatric assessment team responsible for all medical treatment of the elderly demonstrated a statistical significant effect on prescribing of drugs in one study. The study had few participants and a high risk of bias in the results. The evidence is therefore of too low quality to be able to judge whether the intervention affects inappropriate use of medicines. Early psychiatric intervening had no statistically significant effect on the use of psychoactive drugs. Since the quality of the evidence for this result is very low, we cannot determine whether the intervention affects inappropriate use of drugs or not. Activating residents combined with educational meetings for health personnel had no statistically significant effect on the use of antipsychotics or the number of drugs used in total. Since the quality of the evidence for this result is very low, we cannot determine whether the intervention affects the use of drugs or not. The quality of the evidence is too low to assess whether interventions to reduce inappropriate medication affects health outcomes.
