New Developments in Dementia Prevention Research addresses a dearth
of knowledge about dementia prevention and shows the importance of
considering the broader social impact of certain risk factors,
including the role we each play in our own cognitive health
throughout the lifespan. The book draws on primary and secondary
research in order to investigate the relationship between
modifiable factors, including vascular and psychosocial risks, that
may affect the incidence of dementia. Bringing together
world-leading expertise from applied science, medicine, psychology,
health promotion, epidemiology, health economics, social policy and
primary care, the book compares and contrasts scientific and
service developments across a range of settings. Each chapter
presents these themes in a way that will ensure best practice and
further research in the field of dementia prevention is
disseminated successfully throughout the world. Perhaps most
importantly, chapters also question what type of social
responsibility we are prepared to embrace in order to address the
challenges inherent in dementia prevalence. New Developments in
Dementia Prevention Research includes contributions from leading
authorities in brain health and dementia prevention and provides an
essential contribution to the discourse on dementia prevention. It
will be of great interest to academics, researchers and
postgraduate students engaged in the study of the psychological and
social aspects of aging and dementia.

The restraint of older people is a pressing issue for health and
social care practice. This book provides health and social care
professionals with an authoritative reading resource on the ethics
and use of restraint. The book provides an overview of the
different forms of restraint, the conditions under which they are
used, and their implications for the health and wellbeing of older
people. Practical approaches to minimising are then explored,
underlining the importance of person-centred care. Innovative
programmes and approaches to reducing the use of restraint from
around the world are described and assessed, and case studies are
drawn upon to highlight practice challenges and their effective
resolutions. The perspectives of older people and their carers and
families, as well as of professionals, commissioners and regulators
of health and social care, are also taken into account. The
contributors are drawn from an international range of health and
social care settings, as well as from the academic world. This
in-depth volume will help health and social care professionals
better understand the complex issues that surround the use of
restraint, support practice that puts older people at the centre of
decision-making about their care, and enable services to provide
safer and more appropriate care.
