 Dorothy H. Coons Gerontologist, Author Ann Arbor, MI and RECOMMENDATIONS "A Caregiver's Guide" "A Caregiver's Guide for Alzheimer and Related Diseases by Judith McCann-Beranger, is an outstanding contribution for all person's who are caring for persons with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia." "The author is intensely sensitive to the stressful experiences and emotional trials that both impaired persons and their families face." "The book is full of information that will help relatives better understand their own feelings of devastation and what the person himself or herself is experiencing. It offers many suggestions for responding to difficult behaviors and for involving the imparied person to the maximum." "The book has been written in an unusual style. It is not written like a textbook which is tedious and difficult to read. Each section deals with an important topic that is presented in a brief, clear, and vivid style. It is full of information, ideas, and suggstions that will not only help caregivers try new approaches, but will help them recognize the agony and stress the ill person may be experiencing." "I recommend this book not only to family members but to staff in Alzheimer's units who will find much information that will help them better understand the illness and ways of assisting impaired persons to the maximum."
