This new edited volume seeks to meet the growing need for ways to support people with dementia across the whole course and trajectory of dementia care, with a wide scope of expertise.
The book addresses how practitioners and carers can apply psychosocial interventions – which take into consideration the individual, social and environmental aspects of a person’s life – across this trajectory, right from the earliest stages through to practice in care home settings.
Divided into four sections, each covers a different context in which people with dementia can be supported: at home; in community settings; family and carer support; and those in care homes and hospitals. In addition, there is a distinct focus throughout on evidence-based practice and its implementation in real-world settings. This book is essential reading for any practitioner and caregiver wanting to support people with dementia.
