Experience has shown that dealing with difficult behaviors in a reactionary or piecemeal fashion doesnt work. , Management of Challenging Behaviors in Dementia establishes a new standard for all care settings. It presents a cohesive care philosophy that describes proven ways to reduce or eliminate challenging behaviors by addressing their underlying causes within four critical areas: caregiving practices physical environment social environment medical treatment Although medical and drug treatments are thoroughly covered, the effectiveness of nonpharmacological approaches is stressed and illustrated by case reports.
