Dementia: A Positive Response Hope, Help and Humour on the Journey【電子書籍】[ William A. M. Cutting ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Dementia is a major medical and social problem. It is a serious and progressive condition that can affect every area of life. By 2025 there will be 1 million people in UK with dementia, 1 in 6 people over 80 and a significant number of younger people. It affects a wide circle of those around each individual.</p> <p>Take appropriate steps and progression may be slowed, enabling years of interesting and companionable, comfortable and enjoyable life.</p> <p>______________________________________</p> <p>Those with dementia need and deserve much personal loving care!</p> <p>This book contains practical advice about how best to provide good and appropriate support. Whether you are someone with dementia, a personal carer, a family member or someone with a concern about the condition, you will find reasons for hope and positive encouragement. In simple language it sets out the current understanding about the condition and practical ways to help those living with the disease.</p> <p>______________________________________</p> <p><em>"Being diagnosed with dementia is surely always devastating and increasingly life-changing. However, 'Dementia: a positive response' demonstrates clearly that all is not total darkness. In this easy-to-read book, we learn (perhaps surprisingly) that there can be positives for both victim and carer - including ways in which we can reduce the likelihood of developing dementia or slowing its progress.</em></p> <p><em>Further, we are reminded that a Christian perspective gives an added dimension: “...even if much of the brain has been destroyed, the soul remains. The real person is still there, fully remembered, known to and deeply loved by God, and worthy of care and respect.” And those last five words provide the basis for the individual person-centred supportive care championed throughout the book. Strongly recommended."</em></p> <p><strong>Dr Robert Twycross (FRCP)</strong><br /> Emeritus Clinical Reader in Palliative Medicine, Oxford University</p> <p><em>"This delightful book of analysis, anecdote and comic insights is a welcome antidote to the pessimism that dominates so much commentary on the contemporary scourge of dementia. As a practising lawyer and a priest, I only wish William Cutting's book had been available when I was training in each profession. I commend it for careful study by students and practitioners in both - and by everyone with an interest in human development and decline."</em></p> <p><strong>Canon John Rees</strong><br /> Legal Adviser to the Archbishop of Canterbury</p> <p><em>"This is the most inspiring and helpful book on dementia that I have read. For those concerned that their forgetfulness is an early sign of this illness, for those needing practical help in living with dementia, for carers, especially those on the edge of burn out, for Christians who feel God has abandoned them in this illness and for churches and communities wanting to offer a dementia-friendly environment and appropriate pastoral care, reading and learning from this book will be invaluable.</em></p> <p><em>This book is written with clarity, deep insight and understanding, Christian love and a good dose of humour. Dementia touches us all in one way or another on our journey through life so get reading!"</em></p> <p><strong>Dr Gareth Tuckwell</strong><br /> Retired hospice medical director and chairman of Sanctuary Care (which provides a home for thousands with dementia).</p> <p><em>"William Cutting’s book is superb, positive and covers just about every aspect of dementia in a way that is easily understood. It is interspersed with delightful drawings, amusing pieces and personal stories. He has also drawn together much that is helpful from many other sources. This book should be a great encouragement and valuable resource for many."</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Jennifer Bute</strong><br /> Former GP and Founder of Glorious Opportunity website, after she was diagnosed with dementia, to support others living with dementia.</p> <p><em>"William Cutting has done it again - another wonderful book on growing old, full of information, sensitive humour, wise advice and spiritual understanding.</em></p> <p><em>This time he helps us face dementia, something that will come close to nearly all of us at some time - whether in the family, in friends or in ourselves. It is a book I want on my bookshelf, so as to be able to consult it, to lend it and to recommend it warmly to others."</em></p> <p><strong>Rev. David Wenham</strong><br /> New Testament scholar and teacher in India, Bristol and Oxford.</p> <p><em>"'Dementia, a Positive Response' is an up-to-date summary and condensation of the help available for people with Dementia and those who care about and for them.</em></p> <p><em>William really achieves what it says in its subtitle, providing "hope, help and humour” about one of the growing challenges of our 21st century. He comes at it from the angle of a life-long medical man, a paediatrician but also a carer. It helped me to have known William and his wife Margot for many years.</em></p> <p><em>It is a varied, comprehensive, sympathetic and realistic handbook. It is not a book to be read through, but [rather] dipped into for the information we need when we or others we know face this illness. He has made the contents accessible, professional and readable by carers and patients alike. It will be a great ‘find’ to very many people in their time of need."</em></p> <p><strong>Rev. Tom Houston</strong><br /> Retired after international Christian ministry, leadership and experience as a personal carer.</p> <p><em>"In the face of the global challenge of Alzheimer’s disease to both health and social care, Dr Cutting’s book is a very positive and practical response. It not only addresses the needs of those with this dreadful condition, but also the great demands on the carers, who often suffer with the patients.</em></p> <p><em>The book highlights the importance of simple things; the loving touch, music, smiles and laughter. He and I believe that a sense of humour is part of the human personality and laughter is a divine gift. In this practical book on a most serious illness, the therapy benefits from the injection of pages of comic relief.</em></p> <p><em>A man of Christian faith, Dr Cutting, points out that though dementia can rob a person of both brain and body, it cannot steal the soul.</em></p> <p><em>If you know someone caring for a person with dementia, sell your shirt if need be, buy and give this book. It will be a double blessing."</em></p> <p><strong>The Very Rev. Dr. James Simpson</strong><br /> Former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and Minister of Dornoch Cathedral.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Humour in Psychoanalysis and Coaching Supervision From Life to Interventions【電子書籍】[ Ingela Camba Ludlow ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Drawing from psychoanalytic principles, Ingela Camba Ludlow uniquely explores and endorses humour as a serious and essential practical tool in coaching, coaching supervision and psychotherapy, showing how, when successfully integrated, it can help clients navigate the most difficult professional and personal challenges.</p> <p>Often misunderstood and not accepted in the academic arena, chapters in Part 1 begin by looking at the history and evolution of humour from the Ancient Greeks to the modern age, distinguishing different types of humour from each other, such as wit, sarcasm and pantomime. Freud believed humour to be the highest mechanism of the human psyche and the book continues to examine his relationship and use of humour in psychotherapy, looking at his personal correspondence and patient testimonials as well as how his contemporaries, such as Bion, applied humour in their practice. Moving from theory to practice, chapters in Part 2 show practitioners through case studies, exercises and examples how they can use humour in sessions with clients. Specifically addressing how to use humour ethically, how to remain neutral as the coach and how to use humour to address anxiety, express anger and offer alternative rationalisations, this book provides coaches the practical tools to expand their coaching practice.</p> <p>This interdisciplinary book will be essential reading for coaches, psychotherapists and counsellors looking to broaden their coaching supervision skill set, as well as those who are interested in how humour can promote personal and professional development through a psychoanalytic lens.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
