This book approaches dementia by reviewing behavioral disturbances, cognitive, and functional assessments to provide a more accurate diagnosis.  This approach allows physicians to design specific interventions that is tailored to the person and their challenges, which is often poorly executed. 

 

Written by experts in the field, this book incorporates the latest evidence-based behavioral interventions matched to specific deficits.  The book explores ideas of effective care planning to decrease the need for medical intervention, loss of residence, decrease caregiver burden, decrease medical cost/hospital admission, and quality of life centered care for person’s living with dementia.  The book includes case studies, assessment samples, care plans, and a wide array of helpful tools for interprofessional clinicians.

 

Neurocognitive Behavioral Disturbances is the ultimate resource for geriatricians, geriatric psychiatrists, primary care physicians, gerontologists, nursing home directors, nurses, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, and other health professionals involvement in holistic assessment and care planning for those with neurocognitive disorders.
