Dementia, now known as major neurocognitive disorder, is not one
monolithic disease. Nor is behavior disturbance driven by one
particular neurocognitive dysfunction. In fact if we are able to
understand it, behavior is an excellent form of nonverbal
communication. There are many different causes of dementia. A major
challenge with both researching and implementing interventions is
viewing dementia and related behaviors as single entities. This
approach leaves room for critical errors in the treatment of
dementia patients, beginning with misdiagnosis. This book
approaches dementia by reviewing cognitive and functional
assessments to provide a more accurate diagnosis, which then allows
physicians to design specific interventions that are tailored to
the person and their challenges. Because person centered care is
vital to quality of life and longevity to an aging patient, this
understanding of individual needs is vital. Written by experts in
the field, this book incorporates the latest evidence-based
behavioral interventions matched to specific deficits. Behavioral
management focuses not on controlling behavior, but using it to
teach staff and caregivers how to interpret common actions and
maximize function for people with major neurocognitive disorders.
Quality of life and individualized care planning will be the theme
and the book will provide practical case examples. The book begins
by introducing dementia and other neurocognitive illnesses,
contextualizing them both historically and contemporarily. Next,
the text focuses on the comprehensive assessment of a person with
neurocognitive challenges in order to identify strengths and
understand what the person is trying to communicate with their
behavior. This process allows individualized care planning and
behavioral (non-pharmacologic) management to meet the cognitive
challenges and maximize individual strengths and thereby improve
outcomes, making this a cutting edge resource.
