Code M32512 Price Each 2 Challenging Behaviour in Dementia Handbook
Understanding socially disruptive behaviour in dementia is never easy. Most explanations offer neither solace nor solutions for families and carers, and treatment is often characterised by policies of control and containment. This book, which is the result of the author’s 15 years of clinical work with people who are challenging, disputes the traditional medical model of dementia. Contrasts to the medical view that anti-social behaviour is merely symptomatic of disease with a person-centred focus that resonates change and resolution. Offers a radical and innovative interpretation of challenging behaviour consistent with the new culture of dementia care, focusing on needs to be met rather than problems to be managed.

This informative manual draws on expert research to highlight the feeding and swallowing difficulties that can occur with dementia. It is also a practical guide that offers potential strategies to manage these problems. Professionals are encouraged to focus on the needs of the individual by providing practical questions that should be asked when making an assessment. This is achieved through a step-by-step process, which allows a worker to observe, document and manage feeding and swallowing difficulties. Forms, schedules and checklists that can be photocopied are provided to aid in implementation. This is a detailed, practical resource which offers support and direction for speech and language therapists and others with an interest in swallowing problems, working with people who suffer from dementia. Includes case studies to illustrate theory in practice, as well as a wide ranging bibliography.
