About the book

Finding and comparing counseling methodologies seems like a simple task. Nothing could be further from the truth. When you search for a methodology, you’ll often also find treatments, approaches, tools, methods, models, programs, therapies, practices, and so on.

What exactly is a care methodology? And which ones are available in the Netherlands? Based on ten criteria, 23 care methodologies were identified and clearly summarized in De Grote Methodiekengids voor verpleeghuizen.

Struggling to choose? This independent and richly illustrated reference guide helps you effectively compare different methodologies. Does the methodology work for residents and care staff? Do the perspectives, principles, and goals align with the nursing home’s vision and strategy? And is implementation feasible in practice?
De Grote Methodiekengids voor verpleeghuizen is indispensable for making an appropriate choice of methodology and prevents each organization from having to conduct comparative methodology research all over again.
