Beskrivning
Despite the growth of interest in dementia and dementia care over the past two decades, services and interventions for younger people with dementia and their carers remain, on the whole, fragmented and poorly developed. The focus of social, psychological and biomedical research has been almost exclusively on older people and their carers.The first book to address the subject in its own right, Younger People with Dementia addresses good practice and stimulates an agenda for change. The contributors explore the implications for younger people with dementia and their families at personal, planning and service-development levels. Arguing that information from the wide range of existing practice and clinical knowledge can be shared and built upon, the contributors call for a collaborative, interprofessional and multi-disciplinary approach to all stages of the provision of services.

Recensioner i media

One of the joys of book reviewing is that occasionally one is offered a book that gets everything right. Younger People with Dementia is such a book. The subject matter is of increasing concern and this treatment is timely. The book is well produced by a specialist publisher. Its contributors contribute readable English, with a notable absence of jargon. Both editors have written widely on the subject themselves and have chosen and ordered the contributors with great care. An impressive bibliography is also included.
