Description: This book is an education resource for practitioners who organize services for dementia patients, including psychiatrists, neurologists, physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers and speech and language therapists. Younger dementia patients do not readily fit into any of the conventional mental health services categories, either for adults of working age or for older adults. They require specific skills to address their needs, skills best delivered by a professional team using a multi-disciplinary approach. The book provides all the key information for developing a dedicated service and is also relevant for those who commission mental health services.
Review Quotes: "This book presents a thorough overview of the subject in a very easy to understand manner. ... a high quality book. There are few books that can take a complex subject [such] as dementia and provide a concrete and thorough review aimed at clinicians at all levels." - Doody's Review Service
