How can we work effectively with older people?

What contribution can be made by the field of psychodynamics?

It is now recognised that older adults can benefit from psychodynamic therapy and that psychodynamic concepts can help to illuminate the thorny issues of aging and the complications of later life.

Talking Over the Years begins by examining how ideas of old age are represented by the key psychodynamic theorists of the twentieth century including Freud, Jung, Klein and Winnicott. Contributors go on to draw on their own experiences in a range of settings to demonstrate the value of psychodynamic concepts in clinical practice, covering subjects such as:

Illustrated by a wealth of clinical material, Talking Over the Years increases psychodynamic awareness, helping practitioners become more sensitive to their patients'' needs to the benefit of both the patient and the professional.

Psychodynamic Approaches to the Experience of Dementia: Perspectives from Observation, Theory and Practice demonstrates the impact of healthcare approaches that take into account not only the practical needs but also the emotional experience of the patient, their partners, families and friends, lay carers and professional staff.

Currently there is no cure for dementia, but the psychosocial and therapeutic approaches described in this volume have appeared to help people, both patients and carers, feel more contained and less lonely and isolated. Psychoanalytic theory provides a disciplined way of thinking about the internal world of an individual and their relationships. Each author provides their own commentary on the personal and interpersonal effects of dementia, endeavouring to understand behaviours and emotions which may otherwise seem incomprehensible. The subject is approached from a psychodynamic perspective, considering the unconscious, previous and current experiences and relationships, including those between patients and staff.

Psychodynamic Approaches to the Experience of Dementia illustrates the practical and theoretical thinking of clinicians from a wide range of disciplines who are engaged in the care of people in late life with a diagnosis of dementia. It will be essential reading for mental health and health professionals in practice and training in the field of dementia.

Kann Nachbarschaft geplant, organisiert oder gar erzwungen werden? Welche Rechte, welche Verantwortung haben die Nachbarn - und wie wird der ideale Nachbar definiert? Wo liegt der Unterschied zwischen Nachbarschaft und Gemeinschaft?Dieses Buch richtet den Blick auf den räumlichen und emotionalen Zustand des Nachbar-Seins: Nachbarschaft kann Nähe und Intimität zum (räumlich) Nächsten erzeugen, birgt aber auch die Gefahr von Unstimmigkeiten und Konflikten.Der interdisziplinäre Band untersucht verschiedene Entwürfe und Realisierungen von Nachbarschaft. Die Beiträge richten den Blick auf unterschiedliche Formate: auf die sowjetische Kommunalwohnung, die amerikanische ›gated community‹, auf den Klosterbau, aber auch auf gute und schlechte Nachbarschaften in der Literatur.Mit Beiträgen u.a. von Zygmunt Bauman und Slavoj Zizek und mit zwei Texten von Wladimir Kaminer.
