Volume 4 of Care-Giving in Dementia builds on previous volumes to continue to make a significant contribution to establishing a knowledge base for the developing field of care-giving in dementia.
The editors bring together contributions from leading practitioners and researchers to bring the reader up to date with new developments in diagnosis, treatment and care. Subjects covered include: visuo-perceptual changes in Alzheimer’s disease, the Alzheimer Café concept, attachment in dementia, the role of humour in dementia, the awareness context of persons with dementia, couples group (psycho) therapy in dementia, spirituality, and improving end-of-life care for people with dementia.
Care Giving in Dementia makes state of the art research accessible and relevant for professional care-givers. It will help all health and mental health professionals caring for people with dementia to enhance their practice, educate others and investigate possibilities for further developments in this fast-growing field.

"A rich compilation of contributions that will have a wide resonance across medicine, psychology, nursing and allied professions." - Bill Lemmer, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
"One of the great strengths of this series has been the varied and diverse range of contributions that comprise each chapter and volume. This latest text is no exception and the editors reveal the depth of their networks and their ability to provide an engaging, scholarly and meaningful book that can either stand alone as an entity in its own right, or join its three companion publications in producing a major body of work and contribution to dementia care." - John Keady, Professor of Older People's Mental Health Nursing, The University of Manchester, UK
