Description
The authors, specialists in the UK, draw on developmental theory to propose a model of practice specifically for dementia care. The number
of people who suffer from dementia is increasing and in consequence the problems it presents are affecting a growing number of therapists
and carers. Many of these problems are peculiar to dementia and the models of care used with other client groups have proved inadequate
when dealing with the provision of quality of care to people who have dementia. This revised edition contains a new opening chapter which
brings our understanding of dementia up-to-date. The book looks at the relationship between occupation, wellbeing and dementia and examines
the critical role of the carer in developing therapeutic interventions.
