Younger People With Dementia: A Multidisciplinary Approach

By Michelle L. Murray and Robert C. Baldwin

Book Overview

This book is an education resource for practitioners who organize services for dementia patients, including psychiatrists, neurologists, physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers and speech and language therapists. Younger dementia patients do not readily fit into any of the conventional mental health services categories, either for adults of working age or for older adults. They require specific skills to address their needs, skills best delivered by a professional team using a multi-disciplinary approach. The book provides all the key information for developing a dedicated service and is also relevant for those who commission mental health services.
