Description

This book explores how our conception of dementia has changed since its initial discovery, taking in advancements in knowledge that translate into better ways to manage the condition. Providing detailed reports of the latest research, the book explores the myriad forms of dementia.

Written in accessible language, it looks at current methods of assessing and diagnosing the condition before turning to contemporary approaches to treatment.

Chapters dedicated to often overlooked issues include raising awareness about how dementia affects the lives of those with an intellectual developmental disorder, the fundamental need to consider cultural differences, and the need to fully acknowledge and support informal carers.

The final section of the text examines how COVID-19 has spotlighted serious gaps in healthcare for those living with dementia. Fortified with straightforward explanations and references to clinical material throughout, the book is essential reading not only for clinical psychologists in training and those in practice seeking an overview of the field and latest developments, but for a broader audience as well.
