        Rain

        by Leigh K Cunningham

        Set in provincial Australia in the early sixties, Rain is a multigenerational family saga that chronicles the lives of three generations of the Wallin sawmilling dynasty. It explores the often difficult but enduring ties between mothers and daughters, men and women: the sacrifices, compromises, and patterns of emotion that repeat themselves through generations.  By turn dark and amusing, Rain delivers an emotionally charged revelation about love, loss, guilt, self-discovery and redemption. The enduring question of family bonds—escapable or not, divides, conquers, and triumphs.

        Dementia Care - The Adaptive Response

        a stress reductionist approach

        by Paul T M Smith

        A stress reductionist approach The process of dementia makes the experience of day to day living an acute challenge.  This could be mediated with educated and timely inputs and where the caring contract may be negotiated to preserve both dignity and quality of life.  The premise of the adaptive response model is that armed with the knowledge of human systems and their ability to adapt and adjust, and with a firm application and emphasis on person centred approaches to dementia care, then the experience can be enhanced, and living with one of the dementias can be made less traumatic. This holistic approach proposes a method of using environmental and social psychology to maximise function in the individual and to minimise the negative and destructive elements of the perceived and real environment. Sections include: The biological domain The psychological and social domains Modern contexts of dementia care Stress and adaptive responses Adaptive response Stress Manipulating the social and built environments
