Based on a series of interviews with sufferers and professionals working in the field, on an extensive literature search, and on a consultative document which was sent out to over a thousand people, Hearing the Voice of People with Dementia discusses ten key points:·the possibility of communication;·the disempowering experience of dementia;·the different ways in which people are affected;·the need to respect peoples' sense of sense of time and place;·the importance of knowing a person's `life story';·the effect of environmental and other factors on the process of communication;·the non-verbal ways in which people with dementia communicate;·the means of communicating through `challenging behaviour';·possibilities of group work;·the value or harm of sharing a diagnosis.Practical advice and suggestions based on the research into these key areas are offered to help professionals gain a greater understanding of dementia and develop skills which aid communication.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 233mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 10mmItem Weight: 326gAuthor: Malcolm GoldsmithGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, MedicineRelease Year: 1996 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
