Focusing on theoretical, policy and practice issues which are
increasingly identified as key priorities, the contributors to this
important book examine the ways in which dementia care is evolving
around the globe. They explore the latest theory underpinning
dementia care, the applications of this theory in dementia care
research and how this research is influencing and shaping practice.
Written by practitioners, policy influencers and researchers who
draw on case studies from the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia,
France, India and Malta, the book forms the basis for a worldwide
dialogue of interdisciplinary initiatives and ideas. Insights into
how policy and regional and national dementia strategies are
developed, and the range of innovative approaches that can be taken
in practice, mark a positive step towards ensuring that the needs
of people with dementia around the world are met, both now and in
the future. This book makes essential reading for practitioners,
researchers, policy makers and students in the field of dementia
care.
How are siblings who were conceived using the same sperm or egg
donor making connections in the absence of legal support? What is
it like to discover you are part of a 50+ donor sibling group? How
are donor conceived adults using new technologies to connect with
genetic family and explore their identity? This edited collection
considers the donor linking experiences of donor conceived adults
and children, recipient parents, and donors in a global context. It
includes contributions from legal academics, social workers,
sociologists, psychologists, and policy makers who work in the
assisted conception field. As a result, it will be of particular
interest to scholars of reproductive law, sociology, and digital
media and reproductive technologies. It will also engage those
following the debate around donor linking and the use of
do-it-yourself technologies, including direct-to-consumer genetic
testing and social media.
