Early Psychosocial Interventions in Dementia : Evidence-Based Practice Paperback / softback
Edited by Jill Manthorpe, Esme Moniz-Cook
Paperback / softback
Description
For the increasing number of people diagnosed with dementia each year, treatment in the early stages can make a significant difference to their quality of life.
This book provides examples of psychosocial interventions: taking into consideration the individual, social and environmental aspects of the person's life. It looks at ways of providing support at the time of diagnosis and goes on to explore a variety of interventions and services for the treatment of early dementia.
Bringing together the knowledge and experiences of professionals from both the UK and Europe, the contributors describe interventions for both psychological and practical problems with case examples such as memory support groups, art therapies and assistive technologies for use in the home. This accessible book will be essential reading for practitioners and carers working with those with early dementia and will be extremely useful in both professional development and for those new to dementia care.
