Description
This book discusses the way in which dementia is now being taught in courses. The problems of this client group are unique. The usual
models of care used for other areas of occupational therapy have proved inadequate for these clients. This practical textbook presents
a developmental model of practice for dementia care. It looks at the relationship between occupation, well being and dementia. It examines
the critical role of the caregiver in delivering therapeutic interventions to dementia sufferers.
Audience
Occupational therapists, carers, clinical psychologists and social works. Nurses, other therapists (e.g. art, music and drama therapists),
residential and day care staff working with dementia sufferers.
