Depression in Geriatric Medical and Nursing Home Patients: a Treatment Manual - William Beaumont Hospital Series in Speech and Language Pathology
Lichtenberg
Behavioral treatment for depression has been supported by clinical research for more than twenty-five years, but it has never been applied to older adults in hospitals or long-term care facilities. This manual fills that gap by providing non-mental health caregivers with step-by-step instructions for treating and managing depression among elderly patients.
Depression in Geriatric Medical and Nursing Home Patients is a clinical manual for a variety of caregivers, including speech pathologists, nurses, occupational, physical, and recreational therapists, and nurses' aides. It describes major symptoms of depression through case studies and provides lists that enable the user to recognize and assess those conditions quickly. It then provides detailed procedures for assessing and treating depression, grounded in an explanation of the theory of behavioral treatment.
