Boken Psykisk ohälsa hos äldre av Susanne Rolfner Suvanto ger kunskap för att upptäcka, förstå och förebygga psykisk ohälsa hos äldre samt råd om bemötande och förhållningssätt. Här finns också fallbeskrivningar och diskussionsfrågor. Budskapet är att psykisk ohälsa inte är en naturlig del av åldrandet utan ett tillstånd som går att behandla och ofta bota. Var femte person över 65 år beräknas lida av psykisk ohälsa. Dit hör bland annat depression, ångesttillstånd, substansbrukssyndrom och psykossjukdomar. Men trots att så många äldre drabbas uppmärksammas denna ohälsa betydligt mindre än till exempel demenssjukdomar. Många får inte heller den vård och omsorg de behöver. Psykisk ohälsa hos äldre är den andra och omarbetade upplagan av Mellan äldreomsorg och psykiatri. Boken vänder sig främst till personal inom vård och omsorg om äldre personer, men även till studerande. Den kan också användas som studiematerial, inte minst i diskussioner kring bemötande och fördomar. Observera att innehållet i denna bok är identiskt med föregående upplaga.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER'In this book, Arthur C. Brooks helps people find greater happiness as they age and change' - The Dalai Lama'This book is amazing' - Chris EvansFrom the bestselling author and columnist behind The Atlantic’s popular 'How to Build a Life' series, a guide to transforming the life changes we fear into a source of strength. In the first half of life, ambitious strivers embrace a simple formula for success in work and life: focus single-mindedly, work tirelessly, sacrifice personally, and climb the ladder relentlessly. It works. Until it doesn’t. The second half of life is governed by different rules. In middle age, many strivers begin to find success coming harder and harder, rewards less satisfying, and family relationships withering. In response, they do what strivers always do: they double down on work in an attempt to outrun decline and weakness, and deny the changes that are becoming more and more obvious. The result is often anger, fear, and disappointment at a time in life that they imagined would be full of joy, fulfilment and pride. It doesn’t have to be that way. In From Strength to Strength, happiness expert and bestselling author Arthur C. Brooks reveals a path to beating the 'striver’s curse.' Drawing on science, classical philosophy, theology and history, he shares strategies for releasing old habits and forming new life practices, showing you how to: - Kick the habits of workaholism, success addiction, and self-objectification - Meditate on death – in order to beat fear and live well - Start a spiritual adventure - Embrace weakness in a way that turns it into strength. Change in your life is inevitable, but suffering is not. From Strength to Strength shows you how to accept the gifts of the second half of life with grace, joy, and ever deepening purpose.

Langer draws on her lifetime of expertise and trailblazing research by revealing the capacity that mindfulness has to transform our lives.

Skickas
One of Daily Telegraph’s Greatest Books of 2025.Winter Dreams is an evocative history of the ways the old have thought, felt and expressed themselves over two millennia, tracking the experience of ageing through artistic, literary and historical records. While old age is often depicted as ‘sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything’, Barbara H. Rosenwein shows that the elderly have always retained their emotional depth and desires. She explores how these have changed over time, as societies’ views of the elderly and of a ‘good’ old age have changed. And through careful exegesis, she allows the elderly, so often absent from the historical record, to speak to us.We live in a rapidly ageing society, yet ageism is rampant and death and dying are taboo subjects. Rosenwein’s book is a finely wrought testimony to the value of ageing and the richness of our Winter Dreams.

Hur behåller man livskänslan i tunga tider? Vad ska man göra för att stå ut med det tryck omvärlden ständigt utövar på en? Kan man vänja sig vid dödens allt mer påträngande närvaro och vara någorlunda glad ändå?
En oväntad sjukdomsdiagnos får Michel Ekman att grubbla över dessa frågor. Andra världar inleds av en essä som är ett slags inventering av de krafter man kan mobilisera i en höstlig livssituation. De andra världarna kan vara många och på olika sätt ge en styrka.
Ekmans essäer rör sig mellan det vanliga och det sublima. Finns det paradis? Hur når man dem? Barnets intensiva närvaro i nuet har en viktig plats här, liksom litterära följeslagare som Marcel Proust, Tua Forsström och Barbro Lindgren. Och vem var den gamle mannen i sin mörka och tunga överrock som plötsligt dök upp på båten till Rönnskär?

A New Vision for Midlife

Skickas
Leading lifespan psychologist Margie Lachman creates an inspiring new framework for midlife, based on her landmark thirty years of research and work on the MIDUS study, as the defining years of life.We’ve all heard the term “midlife crisis” and the stereotypes that come with it. But what if everything you think you know about midlife is a myth? In Primetime, Dr. Margie Lachman draws on her decades of research to debunk these myths and rebrand midlife as the optimal time for personal growth and satisfaction. A professor of psychology at Brandeis University and the director of the Lifespan Lab, Dr. Lachman has spent thirty years studying midlife from a lifespan developmental perspective. Her research reveals the myth of the midlife “crisis”, and other misconceptions such as people in their middle years can’t change and that it is the unhappiest time of life. In reality, only a small percentage of people report experiencing a midlife crisis; personality can change during midlife and many people have a higher sense of well-being and control. It is a time when most are still healthy, highly functioning, mentoring those younger and caring for those older combined with increased knowledge and experience and stronger emotion regulation. This book reveals midlife as a critical time in the life cycle with high generativity and peak responsibility, as well as when we make choices that can impact our later years. With a focus on debunking myths, navigating changes, and planning for the future, she guides readers through making sense of the past and imagining future possibilities. She also covers the physical, psychological, cognitive, and social changes that accompany the middle years and illuminates the potential to harness a sense of control in the face of the challenges, constraints, and transitions.
Happiness Curve
Why Life Gets Better After Midlife

Why does happiness get harder in your 40s? Why do you feel in a slump even when you''re successful? Where does this malaise come from? And, most importantly, will it ever end?Drawing on cutting-edge research, award-winning journalist Jonathan Rauch answers all these questions. He shows that from our 20s into our 40s, happiness follows a well-documented U-shaped trajectory, a "happiness curve", declining from the optimism of youth into what''s often a long, low trough in middle age, before starting to rise again in our 50s.This isn''t a midlife crisis, though. Rauch reveals that this downturn is instead a natural stage of life – and an essential one. By shifting priorities away from competition and toward compassion, you can equip yourself with new tools of wisdom and gratitude to head positively into your later years.And Rauch can testify to this personally – it was his own slump, despite acclaim as a journalist and commentator that compelled him to investigate the happiness curve. His own story and the stories of many others from all walks of life – from a steelworker and a limo driver to a telecoms executive and a philanthropist – show how the ordeal of midlife malaise can reboot our values and even our brains for a rebirth of gratitude.Full of insights and eye-opening data, and featuring practical ways to endure the dip and avoid its perils and traps, The Happiness Curve doesn''t just show you the dark forest of midlife, it helps you find a path through the trees.
Konsten att bli äldre

Mitt i livet träder vi in i ett gränsland. Vi börjar märka att vi åldras. Ofta talar vi om åldrandet som någonting negativt och svårt. Tiden som återstår börjar bli begränsad och vår vardag förändras. Vi kanske inte ska vara så rädda för den förändringen? Vi kanske kan hitta en öppenhet att möta det okända och kanske till och med bli nyfikna på den här fasen av livet – ”den tredje åldern”. Med den tredje åldern förändras perspektiven, det blir inte längre så intressant att betrakta hur många år man levt utan en väsentligare fråga blir hur många år som är kvar att leva. Hur vill jag använda tiden som jag har kvar? Vad vill jag använda mitt liv till? Vad ska jag göra som pensionär? Vilka krav är det rimligt att ställa på mig själv? Ska jag fortsätta anstränga mig, fortsätta att prestera eller redan nu börja att dra mig undan? Kommer jag att fortsätta att vara frisk? Konsten att bli äldre är skriven ur ett psykologiskt och existentiellt perspektiv, där livsfrågorna får en framträdande plats. Det är en tankeväckande och hoppfull läsning som utmanar synen på åldrandet. En perfekt läsning för den som närmar sig, eller redan nått, pensionsåldern.

“A brilliant work on a profoundly important subject. The leading scientific authority on motherhood has come through again.” —E. O. Wilson “Thought provoking…An engaging and compelling argument [that] requires us to rethink entrenched views about how we came to be human.” —Science Somewhere in Africa, more than a million years ago, a line of apes began to rear their young differently than their Great Ape ancestors. From this new form of care came new ways of engaging and understanding each other. How such singular human capacities evolved, and how they have kept us alive for thousands of generations, is the mystery revealed in this bold and wide-ranging new vision of human emotional evolution. Mothers and Others finds the key in the primatologically unique length of human childhood. If the young were to survive in a world of scarce food, they needed to be cared for, not only by their mothers but also by siblings, aunts, fathers, friends—and, with any luck, grandmothers. Out of this complicated and contingent form of childrearing, Sarah Hrdy argues, came the human capacity for understanding others. Mothers and others teach us who will care, and who will not. From its opening vision of “apes on a plane”; to descriptions of baby care among marmosets, chimpanzees, wolves, and lions; to explanations about why men in hunter-gatherer societies hunt together, Mothers and Others is compellingly readable. But it is also an intricately knit argument that ever since the Pleistocene, it has taken a village to raise children—and how that gave our ancient ancestors the first push on the path toward becoming emotionally modern human beings.

From the creator of Bulletproof coffee and the bestselling author of Head Strong and The Bulletproof Diet comes a plan to bypass plateaus and ‘up’ your game at every age.Dave Asprey suffered countless symptoms of ageing as a young man, which sparked a lifelong burning desire to grow younger with each birthday. For more than twenty years, he has been on a quest to find innovative, science-backed methods to upgrade human biology and redefine the limits of the mind, body, and spirit. The results speak for themselves. Now in his forties, Dave is smarter, happier, and more fit and successful than ever before.In Super Human, he shows how this is level of health and performance possible for all of us. While we assume we will peak in middle age and then decline, Asprey’s research reveals there is another way. It is possible to make changes on the sub-cellular level to dramatically extend life span. And the tools to live longer also give you more energy and brainpower right now.The answers lie in Dave’s Seven Pillars of Ageing that contribute to degeneration and disease while diminishing your performance in the moment. Using simple interventions – like diet, sleep, light, exercise, and little-known but powerful hacks from ozone therapy to proper jaw alignment, you can decelerate cellular ageing and supercharge your body’s ability to heal and rejuvenate.A self-proclaimed human guinea pig, Asprey arms readers with practical advice to maximize their lives at every age with his signature mix of science-geek wonder, candour, and enthusiasm. Getting older no longer has to mean decline. Now it’s an opportunity to become Super Human.

Vad händer med de kognitiva och språkliga färdigheterna hos en individ med demens? Hur påverkas kommunikationen? Vad kan vårdpersonal och närstående göra för att bemöta och stödja vacklande samtal?

Boken består av både en teoretisk och en praktisk del. I den teoretiska delen presenteras centrala begrepp, aktuell forskning om samtalsspråk och demens, de vanligaste sjuk domarna som förorsakar demens och de förändringar i språk och kommunikation som de medför. Den praktiska delen lyfter fram olika typer av problem med språkproduktion och språkförståelse hos personer med demens, vilka illustreras i ett rikt antal samtalsutdrag.

Sagt om boken"Författaren ger ytterligare råd för vårdarna, hämtade från egen och andras forskning. Vikten av bevarad självständighet och individualitet och värdigt bemötande betonas. Framställningssätt och diskussionsfrågor efter varje kapitel gör boken väl anpassad för målgruppen - studerande och verksamma inom vården. Anhöriga hittar troligen mer lättillgänglig vägledning i annan litteratur eller via anhörigföreningar. Boken ger värdefulla aspekter på strategier vid kommunikation med personer med demens." Carl G. Dencher, lektör, BTJ häfte 2010:12.

Om författarenCamilla Lindholm är docent och universitetslektor vid Finska, finskugriska och nordiska institutionen vid Helsingfors universitet. Hon har doktorerat i ämnet kommunikation mellan läkare och patient och har därefter forskat om samtalsspråk och demens.

Synthesizing a vast body of empirical research and organizing it around a comprehensive conceptual model, this book is recognized as the definitive reference on adult attachment. The authors explain how what began as a theory of child development is now used to conceptualize and study nearly all aspects of social functioning across the lifespan, including mental representations of self and others, emotion regulation, personal goals and strivings, couple relationships, caregiving, sexuality, psychopathology, psychotherapy, and organizational behavior. The origins and measurement of individual differences in adult attachment are examined, as is the question of whether and how attachment patterns can change.New to This Edition:*Reflects major advances, including hundreds of new studies.*Clarifies and extends the authors' influential model of attachment-system functioning.*Cutting-edge content on genetics and on the neural and hormonal substrates of attachment.*Increased attention to the interplay among attachment and other behavioral systems, such as caregiving and sexuality.*Expanded discussion of attachment processes in counseling and psychotherapy.*Additional coverage of leadership, group dynamics, and religion.

'Will shatter some of your basic assumptions about ageing' - Adam GrantWhy do some people age better and live longer than others?This is the question that led leading expert and researcher Dr Becca Levy to discover a fascinating truth: just changing the way you think about ageing can add years to your life. In Breaking the Age Code, Dr Levy draws on pioneering research to offer stunning revelations about the mind-body connection. She demonstrates that many aspects of ageing we consider to be natural, such as memory loss, hearing decline and cardiovascular events, are in fact influenced by our own negative biases, often informed by cultural ageism. She tackles head on how we can shift these outdated ideas at a societal level and what we can do to help ourselves.Positive, practical and full of fresh insights, Breaking the Age Code will dismantle your assumptions about how we get older and leave you looking forward to what the future holds.'Breaking the Age Code is less a self-help manual than a manifesto for a revolution' - Anna Maxted, The Times

Power of Discord

How can we create more meaningful and intimate connections with our loved-ones? By using moments of discord to strengthen our relationships, explains this original, deeply researched book.You might think that perfect harmony is the defining characteristic of a good relationship, but the truth is that human interactions are messy, complicated, and confusing. The good news, however, is that we are wired to deal with this from birth — and even to grow from it and use it to strengthen our relationships, according to renowned psychologist Ed Tronick and paediatrician Claudia Gold. Scientific research — including Dr Tronick’s famous ‘Still-Face Experiment’ — has shown that working through mismatch and repair in everyday life helps us form deep, lasting, trusting relationships; resilience in times of stress and trauma; and a solid sense of self in the world.This refreshing and original look at our ability to relate to others and to ourselves offers a new way for us to think about our relationships, and will reassure you that conflict is both normal and healthy, building the foundation for stronger connections.
