""I regard this as a long overdue and highly relevant addition to
the literature on dementia care. Its grounding in the reality of
practice and realistic approach will make it a very valuable
workbook for a wide range of car workers. The book will play a
large part in helping to improve dementia care by presenting a
vision and manual for 'best fit' realistic practice."
Danny Walsh, University of Nottingham, UK"
""This is an excellent text for both undergraduate and
postgraduate students. The strong emphasis on person centred
approaches and relationships permeates throughout the book and the
activities presented provide the reader with the opportunity to
reflect upon their own practice and the best fit options identify
interventions for consideration."
Sandra Fleming, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College
Dublin, Ireland"
