Reviews *The
Bio-Psychosocial Approach to Therapeutic Activities and Successful Aging, by Susan Brhel
"Attention to the adage
"use it or loose it" is a worthy task for elders and their caretakers, both at the physical and mental level. This
publication provides practical and detailed direction to this end. However, "use it or bruise it" is also valid
as injuries and errors happen. Safety and quality assurance are given foremost attention throughout. Those on the front lines
of getting elders to "use it" will find much encouragement and advise here."
-Dr. James Crosby,
Gerontologist
"This tool
can help care providers and therapists interact with and provide treatment for older individuals in various settings. The
background information and definition of terminology is very helpful for those with limited understanding of the performance
components of aging in today's society. The use of checklists and charts also helps to provide a flow chart that is easy
to provide structured care with measurable outcomes.
-Dayo Adekoya, MS, Occupational Therapy, Wilson Hospital Rehabilitation Services
This book will serve as an excellent resource for recreation practitioners. It
is organized in an easy-to-follow, systematic fashion. The first section provides an overview of the aging process, followed
by a more in-depth look at how the human brain ages. Finally, Alzheimer's disease is addressed in a comprehensive manner.
As Alzheimer’s disease becomes a more prevalent problem amongst our aging population, this information will be invaluable
for health care practitioners.

This book represents an excellent adaptation of the bio-psychosocial framework,
demonstrating the importance of the interaction of the various life forces that impact life and human development. It provides
an organized structure for evaluation of the older adult in each domain, resulting in very comprehensive assessment.

to improve the quality of life for these patients. Fulfilling their individual needs on a daily basis, Susan has scored a
victory for these and all nursing home patients. This book is a must read for every nursing home facility.
