Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) has made a huge global,
clinical impact since its inception, and this landmark book is the
first to draw all the published research together in one place.
Edited by experts in the intervention, including members of the
workgroup who initially developed the therapy, Cognitive
Stimulation Therapy for Dementia features contributions from
authors across the globe, providing a broad overview of the entire
research programme. The book demonstrates how CST can significantly
improve cognition and quality of life for people with dementia, and
offers insight on the theory and mechanisms of change, as well as
discussion of the practical implementation of CST in a range of
clinical settings. Drawing from several research studies, the book
also includes a section on culturally adapting and translating CST,
with case studies from countries such as Japan, New Zealand and
Sub-Saharan Africa. Cognitive Stimulation Therapy for Dementia will
be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate
students involved in the study of dementia, gerontology and
cognitive rehabilitation. It will also be of interest to health
professionals, including psychologists, psychiatrists, occupational
therapists, nurses and social workers.

The psychology of aging is an exciting and rapidly-developing
field. This volume provides a collection of classic, original and
often widely-cited papers, including some older papers which may be
hard to find through conventional searches. Taken together, they
help to address some key questions: what are the cognitive changes
related to aging? Is mental exercise useful? To what extent might
intelligence, education or stimulating mental activities delay or
even reduce cognitive symptoms of dementia? However, the book goes
well beyond cognition and addresses social and emotional changes in
aging, as well as looking at how lifestyle factors may be
influential in psychological functioning. The section on the
psychology of dementia covers the evolving psychological models,
plus innovative types of psychological interventions. As more
people live to an age where they are dependent on others, the book
also considers the stresses on carers and how carers can be
supported. Lastly, other aspects of mental health problems in
old-age are addressed, including depression, PTSD and personality
disorder. This collection of intriguing and inspiring papers will
liven up the shelves of students, researchers and academics in the
field as well as being a very useful resource for research,
teaching and study.
