Synopsis

Dementia is now being taught on courses, but it can be a difficult area. The problems of this client group are quite unlike those of any other and the usual models of care used for other areas of Occupational Therapy (OT) have proved inadequate for the provision of quality OT care to these clients. This practical textbook presents a developmental model of practice for dementia care. It looks at the relationship between occupation, well-being and dementia, and examines the critical role of the carer in delivering therapeutic interventions to dementia sufferer, meeting the needs of both students and practitioners.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The book is written for therapists and carers of older people and people with dementia. It proposes a model of practice for those who are charged with a duty to provide a quality lifestyle to those who have dementia, that is, the very large number of professional and family carers who manage the care of our ageing poulation. No other such model exists and there is no other book of its kind on the market.
