Relating with an Old Person who has a Mental Illness

This session looks at the elderly person in survival mode and why some older people cope with life through self-absorption.

Why do some older people become over-focused on themselves and their needs when life becomes overwhelming?
Which tactics can nurses/carers use to re-engage an older person when this occurs?
