Annotation	This book starts by looking at changes in the definition of dementia, and in the use of activity and occupational therapy interventions with dementing people. The author focuses on her 'personal search' for alternative techniques and approaches, based on her work at Moorgreen Hospital, Southampton. Evaluating their effectiveness leads the author to suggest that much more needs to be known about what techniques are helpful and why in caring for those with dementia. The relationship of activity to well-being in older people is also explored.
