Ce livre ouvre la voie à la possibilité d'un regard différent et personnel sur les adultes âgés atteints d'une maladie neurodégénérative appelée « démence », qu'elle soit de type Alzheimer ou autre. Écrit dans la perspective de partager ce regard et une méthode avec tous ceux qui accompagnent ces adultes âgés « déments » à titre professionnel ou familial, le propos de l'ouvrage est le plus global et le plus concret possible. L'auteur propose : · des données neurophysiologiques et psychologiques ; · des réflexions et des questions sur le poids du regard que nous portons sur ces personnes et sur la nature de ce que nous leur proposons dans les liens que nous établissons avec elles ; · des réflexions sur le pouvoir personnel et l'autonomie ; · des propositions concrètes sur la façon d'intégrer le projet de vie de ces personnes dans le projet institutionnel. À travers ces réflexions, il sera question de sens. Sens de nos interventions (que signifie accompagner ces personnes au quotidien et pourquoi ?) ; mais aussi sens de la vie : la démence nous renvoie sans cesse à des questionnements qui touchent à l'essence même de notre humanité. Enfin, parce que l'accompagnement de ces personnes se construit au quotidien et dans l'échange, l'auteur nous invite à le faire ensemble par le biais d'un blog interactif : www.demenceetprojetdevie.com

Presents an innovative family-based approach to rehabilitation counseling that can be put to use immediately!. While the family has traditionally been a secondary consideration in rehabilitation, this graduate text presents an innovative approach to rehabilitation counseling that focuses on the family as the center of a person-centered model, rather than as an adjunct to individual counseling. It advocates counseling in the context of community, requiring the recognition of social transaction as the primary focus of all interventions. The book provides the tools and knowledge base to effective

In People with Dementia Speak Out, twenty-three people from diverse backgrounds share their experiences of living with dementia. The contributors are honest about the frustrations and fears they face, but overall there is remarkably little self-pity and a great deal of optimism. The personal accounts demonstrate that with the right support at the right time, and above all with opportunities to continue to contribute to society in a meaningful way, it is possible to live well with dementia. These fascinating stories bring to life the characters behind the collective term 'people with dementia', and show that each person with dementia is a unique individual with their own personality, history, beliefs, cultural affinities and sense of humour, and their own way of adapting to the disabilities and opportunities which this condition confers. This unique collection of personal testimonies will be reassuring and encouraging for those coming to terms with a diagnosis of dementia, for their families and carers, and is essential reading for health and social care professionals at all levels.

This comprehensive work addresses the care and treatment of adults and children who have disorders of intellectual development (also known as intellectual or learning disabilities). It focuses specifically on the interface between intellectual disabilities and genetics, ageing, epilepsy and forensic psychiatry. A whole section is devoted to the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of autism spectrum disorders. Other topics include: comorbid mental health problems; behavioural problems; psychopharmacology; and service provision. There are references to the up-to-date evidence-based literature throughout the text which aims to inform clinical practice. Written by eminent clinicians and experts in their field, the majority of chapters were specially commissioned for this book, whilst a few have previously appeared in the journal Advances in Psychiatric Treatment (now known as BJPsych Advances) and have now been fully updated.
