Abstract:

Please Note: This is a new, paperback edition of a previously announced title.

The topic of communication in elderly care is becoming ever more pressing,
with an aging world population and burgeoning numbers of people needing care.
This book looks at this critical but underanalyzed area. It examines the way
people talk to each other in eldercare settings from an interdisciplinary and
globally cross-cultural perspective.

The small body of available research points to eldercare communication taking
place with its own specific conditions and contexts. Often, there is the
presence of various mental/physical ailments on the part of the care
receivers, scarcity of time, resources and/or flexibility on the part of the
care givers, and a mutual necessity of providing/receiving assistance with
intimate personal activities.

The book combines theory and practice, with linguistically informed analysis
of real-life interaction in eldercare settings across the world. Each chapter
closes with a "Practical Recommendations" section that contains suggestions on
how communication in eldercare can be improved. This book is an important and
timely publication that will appeal to researchers and carers alike.
