Social work and people with dementia, second edition: Partnerships, practice and persistence (Basw/Policy Press Titles)

One in ten of us will suffer from dementia and as a result, the increasing numbers of older people needing assistance mean that all social workers must be up-to-date in their knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards people with dementia and their caregivers. This book is a very substantial update and extension of I Can't Place This Place: Working with People with Dementia and Their Carers (Venture Press, 1996). The book looks at medical, social, and citizenship approaches, thus providing the very latest thinking in the field. It covers a wide range of issues, including often-neglected areas such as sexuality and the design of the built environment.
