About the Book

Understanding socially disruptive behaviour in dementia is never easy and treatment is often characterised by policies of control and containment. This volume disputes the traditional medical model of dementia and asserts that if we reach behind the barrier of cognitive devastation and decipher the cryptic messages, it can be shown that much behaviour is not meaningless but meaningful. It contrasts the medical interpretation that sees anti-social behaviour as mere symptoms of disease with a person-centred interpretation that resonates change and resolution, and offers a radical and innovative interpretation of challenging behaviour consistent with the new culture of dementia care, focusing on needs to be met rather than problems to be managed.

Review :
"I would recommend this book to all who come in contact with people with dementia." British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing "He begins the book by offering clear operational definitions...Case studies are used throughout and help to illustrate how the ideas can be incorporated in both formal and informal settings...Clear guidelines and some very useful ideas are given as to how to use the suggestions made in this excellent book...I would recommend this book to everyone as has a clear and potent message for all of us' - Diana Sims, Senior Occupational Therapist, Clevedon Cottage Hospital, Bristol, Signpost "A detailed, extremely practical book ... This book's value is in its thorough treatment of this often complex area of clinical work ... undoubtedly a valuable source of information." RCSLT Bulletin "This practical, spiral-bound book is a popular and useful text ... recommended to neuroscience nurses ... should be in every nursing library." British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing "Comprehensive and easy to use text...this is a well presented, easy to read, comprehensive text; a must for any clinician working in the field." International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry "This manual draws on research to highlight the feeding and swallowing difficulties that may accompany dementia...needs assessment is guided by a discussion of a wide range of sensory, psychomotor, neurological and emotional factors." Exceptional Child Educational Resources "She has produced a detailed, extremely practical book...This book's value is in its thorough treatment of this often complex area of clinical work.." Bulletin "The Layout is clear and concise; it provides good value for money and is defiantly a practical reference." Speech & Language Therapy on Practice "The book provides a balanced mix of theory and practice. All professionals will find the assessment forms and case studies useful. There is an excellent section on the ethics of tube feeding in severe dementia...The book advocates a team approach, which is reflected by the fact that all health professionals will find it a useful addition to their libraries."
