Alzheimers - A Caregivers Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Having practiced as a psychotherapist for over 15 years, this is the book I have referred over and over to help family members of those with Alzheimers. It's a wonderful book. Easy to read. Full of practical tools and tremendously supportive for the caregiver. Worth every cent.
What a great book to help you through the tough times!

My mother died of Alzheimer's in January of 2006. This book hepled my father, myself (the only child)and my wife through the whole process. It is realistic and tells one what to expect and how to handle each stage of this terminal illness. I highly recommend this book to the caretaker and his/her family to help them understand and deal with the realities of Alzheimer's.
Great Book

Because a relative of mine has AD, I spent some time at a large local bookstore (BN) looking for the right book. This is the one I picked. I think very highly of it.
