Dementia is a little understood and currently incurable illness,
but much can be done to maximise the quality of life for people
with the condition. Contented Dementia - by clinical psychologist
and bestselling author Oliver James - outlines a groundbreaking and
practical method for managing dementia that will allow both
sufferer and carer to maintain the highest possible quality of
life, throughout every stage of the illness. A person with dementia
will experience random and increasingly frequent memory blanks
relating to recent events. Feelings, however, remain intact, as do
memories of past events and both can be used in a special way to
substitute for more recent information that has been lost. The
SPECAL method (Specialized Early Care for Alzheimer's) outlined in
this book works by creating links between past memories and the
routine activities of daily life in the present. Drawing on
real-life examples and user-friendly tried-and-tested methods,
Contented Dementia provides essential information and guidance for
carers, relatives and professionals.
