| Annotation | Written by leading authorities on dementia, this textbook is aimed at students and practitioners. It emphasises the importance of evidence-based care and practice, that are founded on understanding the lived experiences of people with dementia and their supporters. The books is arranged in three sections. The first concerns various overarching approaches to practice within dementia care, including policy and issues such as ethics. Section 2 relates to "person-centred care", as used in the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF). Chapters cover the early stages of dementia; language and communication difficulties; counselling; physical care needs; palliative care; and remembering and forgetting. Section 3 examines various systems associated with practice: helping families to cope; developing ethnically sensitive and appropriate care practice; clinical supervision; elder abuse; and dementia care mapping.
