About the Book

In this book, authors Susan M. McCurry and Claudia Drossel present a clear and practical blueprint for psychologists, physicians, nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals who work with dementia patients and their families. Their evidence-based contextual model of dementia care lays out broad intervention strategies, and encourages readers to use their own creativity and inner resources to develop appropriate solutions for each unique situation and individual.

The chapters present a rich variety of vignettes that illustrate common quality-of-life concerns in dementia patients, including medical co-morbidities, patient/caregiver relationships, caregiver burnout, and interactions with health care professionals. Throughout, the authors combine a comprehensive knowledge of the literature with their own extensive clinical experience in advocating a compassionate and open-minded stance that respects the individuality, preferences, and dignity of dementia patients.

From 2005 through 2010, Dr. Drossel was associate director of the Nevada Caregiver Support Center, a state-funded, evidence-based, consumer-directed service program for individuals with dementia and their families, recognized in June 2008 by the U.S. Administration on Aging as a Program Champion.

She has also coauthored geropsychological and general publications on contextual approaches to behavior.
