CONTENTS:Dedication. Acknowledgements. Foreword by Brian Thorne, Emeritus Professor of Counselling, University of East Anglia, UK. Introduction. 1. In the Beginning. 2. Standing Tall and Other Lessons of Stature. 3. The Purpose of Counselling: Why Counsel People with Dementia? 4. The Process of Counselling: How Does It Work? 5. What is the Counselling Experience Like? 6. Who is the Client? 7. Communicating with One Another. 8. Essential Spirit-Core Relating. Epilogue. References.
Lipinska writes: ""Making sense of self, if only for the moment, and if only for a moment in time, acknowledges, affirms and accepts the client's real Self by being able to share who she once was in the context of who she has become"". This book shows that not only is this work possible, but it is of incredible value. It has deepened my knowledge and my desire to work with individuals who have dementia and with their carers.
