Summary:

Review: "In Wellbeing in Dementia the authors draw on developmental theory to propose a model of practice specifically for dementia care." "The revised edition contains a new opening chapter which brings our understanding of dementia up-to-date. The book looks at the relationship between occupation, wellbeing and dementia and examines the critical role of the carer in developing therapeutic interventions." "Wellbeing in Dementia has been written for all those who wish to enhance the quality of life for people who have dementia. Therapists, nurses, social workers, residential and day care teams and family carers will find it provides them with an invaluable and practical resource."--BOOK JACKET.
