Opis

This book builds upon the foundation of Power's award-winning book, Dementia Beyond Drugs, to reframe the care and support of people living with dementia. Power presents a strengths-based approach that focuses on enhancing seven domains of well-being for individuals in all living environments. In doing so, he challenges many of our long-held practices and provides an innovative approach that can lead to sustained improvements in the lives of people with dementia and their partners in care. Revised edition refines the language and attitudes required to achieve the author's goals and includes new research supporting his approach.
