| Annotation | The preservation of personhood exists through affirmation of self, within a social relationship. An outline of the theory of personhood for people with dementia, as described by Tom Kitwood in 1997, is presented, and the methodology of the person centred approach in social work practice is explored. Government requirements for the participation of people with dementia in the assessment of need are scrutinised, and a postmodernist analysis applied. (RH). |
