Summary:

"In this instructional video, you'll observe how a set of families struggle, compromise, and learn to connect through the difficult life transition of Alzheimer's Disease and dementia. You'll meet a couple, Betty and Everett, and see the harrowing manner that Everett discovers his breaking point in his attempts to care for Betty at home. You'll also observe the special attention given to the difficult decision of stopping a person with dementia from driving. Ethics around how much truth needs to be disclosed are discussed, as well as when it's time to place a loved one in a nursing facility. The video does not shy away from the inevitability of death and how this may mean keeping to a loved one's wishes when they are not able to remember those wishes themselves. By watching this video, you will learn how Alzheimer's Disease and dementia affect different people; understand the challenges families face as they learn to cope; and gain tools for addressing the personal and logistical issues involved. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
