Product Description

Review

“This is a timely and much needed text. The strength of the Handbook is its ability to put the lived experience of dementia within a theoretical, organizational and policy context. In so doing it is the first text which brings together the range of perspectives and concerns in the field of dementia.” – Ageing & Society (Ageing & Society )

"The book provides a state of the art overview of key issues in the UK in the area of dementia care and best practice. The book makes a major contribution to an ever-changing and stimulating body of literature and is a 'must' read for anyone with a keen interest in the area." - Suzanne Cahill (Jnl of Interprof Care )


Product Description

Recently, professional understanding of dementia has broadened and has opened up new thinking about how we can provide more imaginative, responsive and 'person-centred' services for people with dementia. Against this background A Handbook of Dementia Care provides a wide-ranging, up-to-date overview of the current state of knowledge in the field. It is comprehensive, authoritative, accessible and thought-provoking. It asks:

* How do different theoretical perspectives help us to understand dementia?
* What do we know about what constitutes good practice in dementia care?
* How can we improve practice and service delivery in dementia care?
* How do policy, organizational issues and research impact on dementia care?

A Handbook of Dementia Care is an essential resource for students and professionals in such fields as gerontology, social work, nursing, occupational therapy, geriatric medicine, psychiatry, mental health, psychology, social services and health services management, social policy and health policy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just A Course Textbook, 29 Jul 2009
By pablo "scoon2" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
  
This book is used as a textbook in some degree courses. However, it is also a superb general reference book for people who work in dementia care.

Every care home should have a copy of this. It is written in a clear, easy to understand way and is well worth the price.
