How to Help Someone with Dementia

'I've had the privilege of working with Dr Hamill and Dr McCarthy for many years and have seen the positive impact their work has had. They - and the carers and people with dementia who have helped produce this book - have distilled their positive, strengths-based approach and an absolute wealth of learning into a wonderfully accessible, informative and generous guide to caring for a person with dementia and for oneself as a carer. Despite 25 years of experience with dementia, I have learned plenty here to take back into clinical practice. How to Help Someone with Dementia synthesises the very best available practical advice and evidence on the subject and I'll be highly recommending this book to everyone involved in dementia care' -- Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Juliette Brown, Newham Older Adult Mental Health Service, ELFT 'The person with dementia and the caregiver are at the heart of this relevant, rich-in-context handbook. Underpinned by evidence-based theory, the text is written with compassion, guiding the reader to navigate the dementia journey with attention to practical and emotional needs' -- Liz Cort, Trial Manager PATHFINDER study, Division of Psychiatry, UCL 'An incredibly supportive, compassionate and practical guide for those caring for a relative living with dementia. The book provides clear guidance, strategies and responses to those in need' -- Dr Penny Rapaport, Clinical Psychologist
