At a time of significant upheaval within the field of dementia
care, this book provides a clearly stated and carefully reasoned
framework to guide practice and deepen our understanding of the
challenges of living with dementia. A compelling case is made for
supporting and building people's resilience through dementia care
practice. The author takes a hands-on approach, anchored in the
lived experience of people with dementia, whose perspectives and
voices are shared throughout. This excellent and accessible book
will be an invaluable resource to dementia practitioners, students
of health and social care and anyone with an interest in enhancing
their skills and knowledge in supporting people living with
dementia.
