Essential Alzheimer's guidelines featuring Laurenhue's trademark blend of practicality and lightheartedness. This first book in a remarkable set provides both family and professional caregivers palatable and compassionate advice and answers that can be instantly put to use. Main topics: patterns of progression, the logic behind behaviors, effective communication. I highly recommend Kathy Laurenhue's two new books on Alzheimer's disease. The price is very inexpensive, especially compared to the wealth of knowledge inisde these easy to read books. I personally trained under Kathy in the early 1990's; she impressed me then and she continues to shine in my eyes. --Kathy Whitfill, dementia specialist Kathy's wonderfully warm, very personal voice comes through so well in these delightful books. They are most helpful and not so daunting as many of the volumes in our library. So charmed are we by these little companion books that we have stocked 15 sets. --Marian Wenzel, support group leader Kathy Laurenhue is widely known throughout the US and Australia for her creative training techniques related to aging issues and for her ability to enhance serious topics with humor while always respecting individual humanity. She credits her ever-cheerful mother, who died of Alzheimer's disease in 1996 with providing her with her first insights into a fascinating condition. Used Book in Good Condition
