The essential dementia care handbook The Essential Dementia Care Handbook Graham Stokes Fiona Goudie Speechmark 288pp £25.95 0863882447 0863882447 [Formula: see text].
This handbook is an ideal basic text. The emphasis throughout is on trying to understand what the person with dementia may be experiencing - how the 'senses of an uncertain and mysterious world' might lead them to misinterpret the approaches of their carers. Clear steps are given on focusing communication skills to reduce hostility.
