Current community care policies and increasing numbers of older people needing assistance mean that all social workers must be up-to-date in their knowledge, skills and attitudes towards people with dementia and their carers. This book, written by experienced social workers, provides guidance on best practice in a readable and jargon-free style. The book looks at medical, social and citizenship approaches, thus providing the latest thinking in the field; covers a wide range of issues, including often-neglected areas such as sexuality and the design of the built environment; provides contextual information about the old and new cultures of care; and discusses skills such as communication and practical assistance.
