PREFACE
It is an exciting time to be working in the psychological care of elderly people. Today, in contrast to 20 or even 10 years ago, there is a sense of purpose and hope alive amongst those who deal in their care.
My introduction to this field, as a volunteer visitor to elderly people during the mid-1960s I found shocking and rather harrowing. It was my first experience of geriatric hospitals and wards, some of which had progressed but little from workhouse days. One hospital I visited had in fact been the local workhouse for the area. Even the course of years and progress had not enabled it to shed its Victorian institutional mentality: barn-like wards of 40 beds, with maybe 18 inches between them; two nurses, rarely in evidence; high windows; British Rail-coloured walls; no occupational therapy; no day room. I well remember, too, the profound emotional impact at this time of reading Sans Everything: A Case to Answer (Robb, 1967), an expos of abuse of elderly people in institutional care, much of which endorsed my own experience.
Thankfully, we have moved on. Whilst I am sure that there are still pockets of abuse of elderly people in both health and residential care, I do believe that quality of care over the intervening years has changed out of all recognition. By and large, the harshness of custodial care has given way to a humanitarian concern and compassion. In particular, the increased prevalence of dementia in recent years has forced us to look hard at ways of managing the problems of confusion, disorientation and behavioural disorder. There has been a dramatic increase in research, not only into the ageing process itself, but also into methods of treatment and management of the problems of ageing. New treatment strategies have been proposed, developed and evaluated. Occupational therapy and clinical psychology have begun to take a greater interest in research and treatment than ever before. And the last decade has seen a new demonstration of governmental recognition of individual rights in health care.
