Synopsis: The following quote is taken from the "Introduction" of the book which was written by Dr. Linda Teri: "Dr. McCurry brings to the caregiving community this book of hope. By presenting glimpses of the caregivers she has worked with over her years of clinical work, she shows the rich diversity of possibilities. She illustrates how things can improve, as well as how to cope with those times when it feels like things can only get worse. For caregivers just embarking on this mission, Dr. McCurry's compassion shines through. She will help you understand the disease process as well as how to deal with it. For experienced caregivers, whether family or friend, Dr. McCurry's insights may bring new ideas to old problems." Dr. McCurry offers many exercises designed to help people cope with the person who has dementia. The exercises and her suggestions are based on her knowledge of psychology and on her psychotherapeutic background.
