| Summary: | Tim Elliott works with a middle-aged man who, despite of his own chronic illness and the presence of other siblings, has become the caregiver for his elderly mother. The client discusses how his mother, although in her 90s and suffering from dementia, is strong physically and has a great long-term memory. The client is frustrated by the unwillingness his siblings show for sharing responsibility for taking care of her. Elliott points out the client's strengths, including his positive attitude and skills as a problem solver, and helps the client begin to brainstorm ways to find more resources and also to build on his own strengths to help his mother and himself. |
