Psychodynamic Approaches to the Experience of Dementia:
Perspectives from Observation, Theory and Practice demonstrates the
impact of healthcare approaches that take into account not only the
practical needs but also the emotional experience of the patient,
their partners, families and friends, lay carers and professional
staff. Currently there is no cure for dementia, but the
psychosocial and therapeutic approaches described in this volume
have appeared to help people, both patients and carers, feel more
contained and less lonely and isolated. Psychoanalytic theory
provides a disciplined way of thinking about the internal world of
an individual and their relationships. Each author provides their
own commentary on the personal and interpersonal effects of
dementia, endeavouring to understand behaviours and emotions which
may otherwise seem incomprehensible. The subject is approached from
a psychodynamic perspective, considering the unconscious, previous
and current experiences and relationships, including those between
patients and staff. Psychodynamic Approaches to the Experience of
Dementia illustrates the practical and theoretical thinking of
clinicians from a wide range of disciplines who are engaged in the
care of people in late life with a diagnosis of dementia. It will
be essential reading for mental health and health professionals in
practice and training in the field of dementia.
