| Annotation | Support in the early stages can make a real difference to the quality of life of people with dementia. Four areas of early intervention in dementia are considered: at the time of diagnosis; cognition and memory-oriented support; psychosocial and social support; and service developments within which these interventions can be based. Contributors from the UK and mainland Europe describe interventions for both psychological and practical problems. Case examples include memory support groups, art therapies, carer support, and assistive technologies for use in the home. (RH). |
