It is written for healthcare professionals, aging researchers/scientists, patients with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers, managers of eldercare facilities, public health authorities, umbrella organisations of Alzheimer associations, Alzheimer associations, health care administrators, health economists and government officials. It is my pleasant duty to thank Merz Pharma (Schweiz) AG in Allschwil-Switzerland to purchase 40 copies of the book. To finish this book, a long and sometimes arduous path had to be traveled. Now that it is over, I feel profoundly thankful towards all authors for participating in this project, par- ticularly Eva Krebs-Roubicek, MD for her contribution, the three models on the cover of this book; and especially to Julie and Jean-Luc for their great understanding and loving as- sistance. Sabine Bährer-Kohler, Editor of the book VII Foreword Alzheimer’s disease is one of those diseases which is steadily increasing worldwide. Treating Alzheimer’s disease is able to modify its course but does not yet cure it. Alzheimer’s disease is an enormous challenge not only for the afflicted person but also for the relatives. Many publications over recent years have described various topics related to Alzheimer’s disease and means of coping with the condition. Coping concerns the way of dealing with the disease by relatives as well as by the afflicted person. Coping strategies can be considered as a part of self-management, as understood by the authors and editor of this book. The topic of self-management has been described and introduced to the public by several authors in many different countries, for example by Prof. Lorig and her co-workers in the con- text of chronic diseases. In some of these publications training courses for self-management of chronic disease are described, as they are offered by different institutions. Only seldom these publications address Alzheimer’s disease. This lack might be due to different reasons, for instance, directly related to the disease itself, as a consequence of cognitive decline. An- other reason could be the doubt that a demented person could manage the disease, and if so, for how long and in which form? It is also questionable whether a relative can take over the role of an expert during the course of Alzheimer’s disease. The aim of self-management in chronic disease is to improve coping mechanisms. It con- cerns self-determination as well as acceptance byythe environment, and includes all questions, problems and active adaptation to changing needs. It means also that during this difficult phase of life one should not just let go, but actively and endurably pursue own interests, man- age the activities of daily life and the emergency situations. Prof. Lorig has clearly documented that a chronic disease is manageable. Training courses concerning self-management in chronic disease can help towards this aim, to cope in a struc- tured and informed way. This book contains articles describing the work of authors from different professional backgrounds and different countries. The book begins with basic information about self- management, ageing and dementia. Further chapters are concerned with aspects of working with relatives and other caregivers in their care for demented persons. The authors discuss background thoughts as well as end-of-life care. They focus on worldwide used training pro- grams for chronic disease in general, and particular self-management programs for patients suffering from the Alzheimer’s disease and their relatives. The book does not avoid another important aspect, the economic situation and applicability of the presented programs. Imple- mentation of such programs will be only possible, if aspects of efficacy and of economic ef- ficiency are considered. One can only wish that the topic of self-management, with the help of this book, will find its way into day-to-day clinical practice of caring for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s dis- ease and their relatives.
