Introducing life story work, a way for people with dementia to
connect with their relatives, carers and the professionals working
with them. This evidence-based book explains the many benefits of
life story work, with practical guidance for introducing it in a
variety of settings. The authors show how life story work can
empower people with dementia to inform care practitioners and
family members what care and support they may need now and in the
future, by taking into account their past and their future wishes
and aspirations. The book includes practical information on how to
get started, ethical considerations such as consent and
confidentiality, and considers issues of diversity and how to
address them. The voices of practitioners, researchers and family
carers sit alongside those of people living with dementia to
present a wide-range of perspectives on life story work.
