Description

This book explores the significance of attachment theory in supporting older people, highlighting its importance for health and social care staff. By understanding attachment theory, practitioners can provide more effective care and improve outcomes for those who struggle with adapting to new ways of living or managing limiting health conditions.

It also serves as an accessible introduction to strengths-based working, covering principles and practice, as well as key issues such as positive risk-taking, supporting people with dementia, and working in end-of-life settings. The book includes practical tools for practice and case studies that illustrate a broad range of experiences.

This guide is designed to help frontline workers convert policy vision into practice, making it an essential resource for anyone supporting older adults in their work.
