An essential guide to assessing and treating people with dementia syndromes
As the number of older adults with dementia continues to skyrocket, every health care professional needs accurate, up-todate knowledge of these conditions, their prevention, and possible treatments. This compact, evidence-based book discusses essential aspects of the diagnosis, assessment, and interventions of Alzheimer's disease and the syndromes of dementia and mild cognitive impairment. It reviews the diagnostic criteria from the
National Institute on Aging, Alzheimer's Association, and the DSM-5 and provides a broad range of treatment options, including psychosocial, educational, and lifestyle interventions.
Practitioners will especially appreciate the current overview of caregiver interventions. Practitioners and students alike will find the clear information, the tools for assessment, and other resources provided in this volume extremely useful for helping patients and their families cope with dementia.
