Great resource!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
A great resource! This book has been very helpful in my practice because of its comprehensive discussion about the dementias, differential diagnoses, assessment tools, caregivers' concerns, community resources, legal and ethical issues, among other things. Despite its breadth, it's also an easy read.
a solid resource

This book is definitely designed for clinicians, but in some ways is too basic for professionals who primarily work with dementia patients. However, the chapters on family, legal issues and particularly the chapter on environment are very useful. A good resource for a clinician new to treating dementia.
