Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for People with Parkinson's Disease and Caregivers
A Guide for Mental Health Professionals
von Marcia Smith Pasqualini, Michael Macht und Heiner EllgringThe need for mental health support within the Parkinson’s disease (PD) community has never been greater, yet many practitioners lack the knowledge or experience to address the unique challenges associated with PD. This book serves as a practical guide for mental health professionals to assist individuals with PD and caregivers through the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, with the goal of enhancing their well-being and quality of life. The book includes a review of information about PD and mental health, and four structured group programs designed to address issues that are common in people with PD and caregivers:
- Coping with stress and illness
- Communicating about PD
- Emotional expression in PD
- Interventions for caregivers
