Synopsis

This book is an education resource for practitioners who in organize services for people with dementia, including psychiatrists, neurologists, physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers and even speech and language therapists. Younger dementia patients do not readily fit into any of the conventional mental health services categories, either for adults of working age or for older adults. Currently, old-age psychiatrists generally lead services for this group. Younger dementia patients require specific skills to address their needs, and those skills are best delivered by a multi-professional team working in a multi-disciplinary way. Younger People with Dementia provides all the information to develop this type of dedicated service and will also be relevant for those who commission mental health services.
