Wellbeing in dementia :
Perrin, Tessa
Wellbeing in dementia : an occupational approach for therapists and carers / - 2nd ed. - Edinburgh : Churchill Livingstone, 2008. - 166 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
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.
