Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia have been a richly rewarding area for investigation with a number of measurement scales developed, aetiological formulations and successful interventions to reduce depression, agitation and aggression. Interventions include music and the arts, person centred care, problem solving, caregiver training, environmental design and innovative models of community and residential care.
