| Annotation | Beginning with the diagnosis of dementia and other problems associated with ageing, the contributors consider assessment, the person-centred model of dementia, rehabilitation, therapeutic interventions, and family support. "Problem behaviours" of aggression, wandering and confusion are conceptualised as "challenging behaviour": these are dealt with as needs to be met, rather than managed. (RH). |
