And, want to possibly try one more thing for the kids before they contact the divorce attorney. It is during these sessions I want to make sure the couple understands this will be different from traditional therapy since the focus will be on viewing and understanding client issues as a couple. This is hard work, the relationship did not turn sour overnight and therapy is not a quick fix, nor will it deliver in a happy ending. And sometimes, counseling sessions result in showing a couple an ending. This is the type counseling that my former husband and I participated in and through our sessions we learned how important it was to for our son to see his parents as a united front.
Carers of people with dementia need more support and advice to tackle the difficult ethical dilemmas that they face on a daily basis, says the Nuffield Council on Bioethics in a major report today. The report sets out an ethical approach to dealing with these dilemmas, and makes policy recommendations aimed at improving the lives of people with dementia and their carers. Professor Tony Hope, chair of the Working Party that produced the report and a psychiatrist with many years of experience of working with people with dementia said: “I know from the families I talk to that it is often the little things that are the most distressing. For example, one lady we spoke to had to lie to her husband to get him to the day care centre, which

From the teams of health care workers in Primary Care trusts, Secondary care teams of specialists in hospitals and social care teams and individuals out in the community, all providing care to people with a whole range of illnesses and disabilities. Some with short term illnesses who after prescribed treatment or rest will recover and return to everyday life. Others will go on to have long term conditions such as diabetes or it may be people becoming older and their health deteriorating. The relationship between the care worker and the cared for is vastly important. Many procedures and tasks carried out in care involve helping and supporting service users and patients with intimate care and finding out information deemed private.
I have seen some people who don’t give all the information and with clients who have disabilities it is preferred that the advocate and client know exactly what will be going on within their treatment sessions. I know as an advocate for children I would make it a point to stand up for my client if it was in the best interest of my client. Some people do not understand why persons with disabilities need an advocate when they are going to find treatment for themselves. Short and long-term medical care is also another area in which advocates are used.

It tears at my heart when I see one of them depressed or feeling anxious which seems like a fairly common occurrence with the clients that I see both in my everyday job or my internship. Of course the first step in the course of treatment would be to see the primary care physician and discuss the symptoms that the elder is having. As I stated earlier, most physicians are not trained to see depressive symptoms in the elderly. The elder needs to be their own advocate but if this does not take place then a family member or someone who works with them closely, such as myself, should make sure that someone, such as the agency I work for, or a family member or close friend is told about the elder’s feelings.
