Synopsis

Taking a problem-orientated approach to the assessment of dementia sufferers as a good basis for effective management, this text aims to help the increasing body of professional and other workers who come into regular contact with dementia sufferers and their carers in the course of their work. It is not a practical manual, but a guide to understanding. It is not a textbook for any professional group, who will have their own language and their own procedures, but is an attempt to give a common understanding to different professions and agencies who work together in solving the problems of dementia.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a comprehensive, readable introduction to the subject of dementia intended for use by all health professionals involved in the provision of care for this group of patients, both in the hospital and in the community. It presents a broad look at the wide range of ways in which dementia can affect the lives of those with the illness and their carers. The author combines a compassionate understanding of the problems of dementia with a reassuringly positive attitude to the ways inwhich those problems may be faced and coped with. Although academically based it is written in such clear language that it remains accessible to carers and other non-health professionals with an interest in the subject.
