Based on 15 years of clinical work with people with challenging behaviour, this book disputes the traditional medical model of dementia and asserts that, if we reach behind the barrier of cognitive devastation, it can be shown that much behaviour in dementia is actually meaningful.

This text captures the essence of what has happened over the past decade in dementia care. It draws together many new ideas and practical approaches from a wide variety of professionals working at the leading edge of the provision of services to people with dementia.
