Description
Understanding communication in dementia is crucial for managing its impact. This guide explores the underlying motivations behind our interactions, helping us to better navigate the complexities of day-to-day conversations.
It delves into the reasons why communication can go awry, including awkward moments and deception, as well as what we can and cannot control in dementia. The book also offers practical advice on how to approach communication to improve outcomes for carers, bystanders, and those with a dementia diagnosis.
Selected for Reading Well for Dementia 2024, this book is endorsed by health experts, charities, and people affected by dementia. It provides clear action points to help readers manage their own behaviours and avoid unintentionally blocking routes to productive communication.
