Dementia Reconsidered, Revisited: The Person Still Comes First by Tom Kitwood is a seminal text that continues to inspire a new generation of dementia care professionals and advocates. First published in 1997, this influential book challenged simplistic paradigms about dementia, and its impact is still felt today. This new edition, edited by Dawn Brooker, builds on Tom Kitwood's original work, incorporating expert commentary to update the book for contemporary practice. The book provides a valuable commentary on Kitwood's vision, highlighting the progress made in dementia care while also identifying areas where further work is needed to fully respect the rights of people with dementia and their family carers. This edition is an ideal resource for students and practitioners in nursing, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, social work, adult education, gerontology, and health and social care. By bringing together Kitwood's insight with contemporary expertise, this book offers a nuanced and evidence-based approach to dementia care, essential for anyone working in this field.
