Description
Being with Older People: A Systemic Approach explores the complexities of working with older individuals in various healthcare and social care settings. The authors draw on their clinical experience to offer new perspectives on systemic and narrative approaches to supporting older people.
Through a range of real-world examples, the book highlights the importance of integrating systemic and narrative thinking to address the challenges faced by older people, including social isolation, ageism, and discrimination. This practice-led guide provides valuable insights for practitioners and offers a fresh approach to supporting older people and their families.
Written by experienced clinicians, this book is a valuable resource for anyone working with older people, including healthcare professionals, social workers, and carers.
