Communication and Aging: Creative Approaches to Improving the Quality of Lifeprovides an overview of alternative approaches used to improve the quality of life of individuals with long-term chronic communication diseases associated with aging and neurogenic diseases. This text examines how professionals can inspire and develop programs that allow patients to live successfully with their disorders.

Key Features

  • Detailed descriptions of successful therapeutic modalities (such as art, music and drama) and the ability of patients and families to participate and benefit
  • Real-life examples of programs that combine nondirective strategies with outcome measure assessment
  • Discussion of social models and contrast theories of medical models of patient rehabilitation
  • Examination of the effect of social integration on patient quality of life and wellness


Communication and Aging is a source for innovative therapeutic planning and is ideal for professionals seeking to stretch the boundaries of support to patients who may have maximized private pay and directive therapy options.

Review

"...This contributed volume offers the reader the expertise from a range of professionals in the communication field. It is timely: Our population is aging, and so is the rise in cases of dementia, Alzheimer's, and other age-related disorders. The book presents the treatment of communicative conditions associated with aging not only in an inter-professional way, emphasizing teamwork, but in a holistic way. That is, we do not see isolated impairments but quality of life concerns for the individual and his/her loved ones. As we are rightly told, the aim is adding life to the years, not just years to life. The book also offers information to a range of readers: those in the aging population, their family, friends and caregivers, as well as the students in communication sciences and disorders and the active practitioner. We all need to better understand the process of aging, what is normal and what are the signs of disease, what treatments are available, and how the field can continue to improve by focusing on the quality of life for all involved..."
