At the end of May, I completed a practicum rotation in a long term care facility (aka nursing home). I discovered that I love working in that setting and its something that I hope to gain more experience with while I'm on internship.
Dr. Eleanor Feldman Barbara is a psychologist who works in long term care and writes a blog about her experiences. She recently wrote an interesting guest post on the role of psychology in treating mental illness in nursing home residents for McKnight's Long Term Care News.
Another great resource for those interested in the topic of mental illness in long term care is the group Psychologists in Long Term Care (PLTC).
