AnnotationIn the course of their work, occupational therapy staff are likely to meet people of various ages with different types of dementia who are affected differently by the illness. This guide (edited by Alan Chapman) sets out to provide information about dementia, encourage a deeper understanding of the needs of people with dementia and those of their carers, and to focus on important aspects of giving support. It considers a framework for functional assessment, the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance (CMOP); identifies pointers for determining coping skills; discusses various therapeutic approaches; and suggests when it is appropriate to involve or collaborate with other professionals.
