Excellence in dementia care: research into practice

As clearly expressed by the title, this book investigates care for dementia considering all aspects of these pathologies, whilst attempting to provide the reader with the very latest information, often stemming from recently published research. The reading of this book forges a direct link with integrated care insofar as these pathologies are not approached from an exclusively biological, psychological, environmental or social angle but include all of these dimensions at once. At the end of the book the reader will find a section dedicated to the societal aspect of dementia, this section is particularly important for a researcher in integrated care. Dementia can indeed be taken as a model of a disease for which the customary fragmentation of support and care systems is particularly deleterious for persons with multiple needs and requiring skills belonging to multiple circles.
