One of America's leading hospice experts offers practical, easy-to-follow advice for caregivers and a holistic approach to treating the infirm or the terminally ill. Author Douglas C. Smith organizes his material around "A Bill of Patient's Rights," a unique system he has taught to thousands throughout the country. He explains that the caregiver should enable patients to retain these rights:

to be in control
to have a sense of purpose
to know the truth to be comfortable
to touch and be touched
to laugh to cry and express anger
to explore the spiritual to have a sense of family

Included are easy-to-follow techniques and practical tools for improving care:

assessment techniques
dialogues
meditations
life reviews
breathing exercises
body revitalization methods
ways that patients can evaluate and improve their own care
and many others

Filled with inspirational stories and effective guidance, Caregiving also addresses how to communicate with difficult patients and those in denial, how to facilitate non-stressful family interaction, and other important topics. It will be invaluable to parents and children caring for their elders; physicians and nurses; social workers and home health aides; members of the clergy; and all facing the challenge of enriching patients' lives and spirits.
