Content:
"Dementia - Metamorphosis in Care will address the need for change and provide practitioners with a means of understanding why adhering to the old model - the medical approach - can be damaging in current care settings. Practitioners are advised on what is needed from them in order that they can positively influence the lives of those living with dementia. The importance of the role of professional carer and the responsibility they carry regarding whether or not care improves, is underlined throughout the book." "Dementia - Metamorphosis in Care would be a valuable resource for students in health, mental health and social care - nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists and medics."--Jacket.
