AnnotationSince the 1980s, emphasis has been given to the individuality of each person with dementia, his or her rights as a citizen, and the need for dignity, respect and to be treated as a human being. This approach culminated in Tom Kitwood's 1997 book, "Dementia reconsidered: the person comes first", the legacy of which is considered in this article. (RH).
