Description
Understanding Behaviour in Dementia: A Guide to Assessment and Treatment (Second Edition) This revised guide to assessing and treating challenging behaviours in dementia has incorporated the latest advances in the Newcastle Challenging Behaviour Model. The new edition includes fresh perspectives on topics such as end of life care, the use of therapeutic dolls, and the management of lies and deception. It also addresses the complex issue of physical restraint during personal care. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the range of behaviours exhibited by individuals with dementia, alongside effective assessment and treatment techniques for healthcare professionals. With a focus on non-pharmacological approaches, this guide offers valuable insights into the most effective ways to support individuals with dementia and their families. Suitable for healthcare professionals, carers, and anyone working with individuals with dementia, this book is a valuable resource for understanding and addressing the complex behaviours associated with this condition.
