Opis: Dementia Care - Jill Manthorpe, Trevor Adams, Adams

Dementia presents challenges to all those working in health and social care. It is a progressive disease that affects the person with dementia, their families and friends, and the wider community. Dementia affects each person in a unique way. The challenge to professionals is to respond to this uniqueness by providing support that is effective, meaningful and individualized, often in a context of service uncertainty and resource shortages. Dementia Care explores the key issues relevant to dementia care practice. Written by leading authorities on dementia, this new textbook is designed for both students and practitioners. It emphasizes the importance of evidence-based care and practice that are founded on understanding the lived experience of people with dementia and their supporters. This book is successful in bringing together a range of experts from the field of demetia care to provide practitioners with some thought provoking and innovatory approaches to practice. Journal of Interprofessional Care One of the book's strengths is the powerful series of case examples that bring important issues into clear, concrete focus and serve admirably to sensitize the reader to the plight of people who have dementia and the issues confronting carers. The book is a welcome addition to a growing literature that aims to enhance awareness of the plight of people with dementia, the duanting task of providing person-centred care, and the need to improve the quality of life not only of those who live with dementia but also those who provide care. Aging and Mental Health A thought-provoking book, recommended for professional workers undertaking specialist practice or higher academic activity.
