Dementia beyond drugs


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

This is an excellent source of information about the use of drugs for anyone who has dementia. One of the big points​ he makes is that what we as caregivers often interprete as disruptive behavior is actually an expression of one or more needs that he or she has. The book gives good information for people caring for a loved one in their home or caregivers in a care center​.
I would recommend the book very highly as he is speaking from actual experience not just text book theory.

This book has been so helpful in our approach to managing the care of my brother-in-law, age 73 who has been living with Alzheimer's for several years. We are focusing on his assets rather than his deficits. It takes the stress off him and his care team. It can be a very powerful tool in changing the the culture.
