Healthy Aging, Healthy Treatment

Rating:
Summary: A fine guide for re-writing the story of elder health care.
Review: Peake is commended for openly and honestly addressing the current condition of health care for the aged. " Healthy Aging, Healthy Treatment " is an excellent addition to the library of those who provide health care services to the aged. Troughout this text Peake presents a non-treatening yet effective means by which to address the primary goal of psychotherapy; re-writing core beliefs. The current story of health care for the "third age" is repleat with frightening images as well as themes of ignorance, denial, neglect and fear. Perhaps we can use Peake's final chapter as an outline by which to re-write this mystery into a story that more accurately reflects our innate care, concern and compassion for one another.
