Sprechen Sie limbisch?

The new "Böhm" - a strong plea for a future-oriented elderly care. Compellingly written, sensitive, and touching. From the founder of the psychobiographical care model, Erwin Böhm, the renowned Austrian nursing scientist advocates in his book for a transgenerational and transcultural care, focusing primarily on two questions: 1. How will people from abroad fare when they develop dementia symptoms in a foreign land? 2. How will they feel as the country where they have lived as immigrants for many years becomes increasingly unfamiliar? The most important insight is: The staff in elderly care must learn to respond empathetically. When a person suffers from dementia, the limbic system, their emotional world, takes precedence. Therefore, they must be addressed on an emotional level: namely, limbically! Böhm's plea.
