This volume provides a broad and critical presentation of the
behavioral and psychosocial treatments of Latinxs with dementia in
the United States (U.S.) and across a representative sample of
Spanish-speaking countries in the world. The compendium of
chapters, written by researchers, practitioners, and policy
analysts from multiple disciplines provides a deep exploration of
the current state of dementia care for Latinxs in the U.S. and
around the globe. The volume is designed to increase and strengthen
the collective scientific and sociocultural understanding of the
epidemiological and biopsychosocial factors, as well as the
overlapping systemic challenges that impact diagnosis and symptom
management of Latinxs with dementia. The authors introduce policy
options to reduce risk factors for dementia and present
culturally-responsive interventions that meet the needs of Latinx
patients and their caregivers. Highlighted topics featured in the
book include: Contextual, cultural, and socio-political issues of
Latinxs with dementia. New meta-analysis of dementia rates in the
Americas and Caribbean. Dementia-related behavioral issues and
placement considerations. Educational, diagnostic, and supportive
psychosocial interventions. Pharmacological, non-pharmacological,
and ethnocultural healthcare interventions. Intersectionality as a
practice of dementia care for sexual and gender minoritized
Latinxs. Prescriptions for policy and programs to empower older
Latinxs and their families. Caring for Latinxs with Dementia in a
Globalized World: Behavioral and Psychosocial Treatments is a
resource that accentuates and contextualizes the heterogeneity in
nationality, immigration, race, sexual orientation, gender, and
political realities. It is a key reference for a wide range of
fields inclusive of demography, geriatrics, gerontology, medicine,
mental health, neurology, neuropsychology, nursing, occupational
therapy, pharmacology, psychiatry, psychology, rehabilitation,
social work, sociology, and statistics all of which, collectively,
bear on the problem and the solutions for better care for Latinxs
affected by dementia.
