Social Work and Dementia

This was a good read for my health and Socail care students. Some of which didn't know anything about Dementia before reading this.

Very timely and appropraite text given the profile that social care and dentia has within political arenas at this time. The text provides detailed insight into the challenges SW's face when working with people who have dementia. Particularly liked the future perspectives of utilising assistive technology and addressing end of life care

this book will support the multidisciplinary nature of mental health nursing from a social work perspective with the focus on dementia placements in hospital and community. it will provide essential elements of the social worker role in dementia care

An excellent text hsighlighting key issues for social work students working in this area of practice.

A very useful text, that is up to date. It demonstrates the political and social agendas very well and it begins to unravel to of the key issues. The way the text includes case studies is also very useful.

refreshing to see social work text on working with this service user group whose needs are often seen only in terms of physical and not holistic care

A useful text, showing policy ,legal and sociological contexts of dementia. It also offers a beginning understanding for social workers of treatment models. It is easy to follow, and explores case examples, best practice guidance and research. This is useful for guiding students with research projects as well as assignments.
