Depression und Pflege

This book is primarily aimed at people working in the caregiving field. The author consolidates his experiences from his work in a nursing home and his psychotherapy practice to provide realistic information about depression. He deliberately avoids the tone of a textbook and describes residents of a nursing home as well as everyday situations with them. The reader gains a deeper understanding of this insidious and often underestimated illness and receives guidance for appropriately documenting its symptoms. They learn about communicative pitfalls to better understand the experiences of their depressed care clients and receive tips for meaningful communication with them. Such knowledge can help reduce stress in the caregiving sector.
