Summary

Abstract: The influences of brain function, disturbances and the causes of dementia in the elderly have, until recently, been overlooked as a possible explanation for antisocial or unusual behaviour. As a result, these have tended not to be included in assessment and training programmes.

Ageing and the New Dementias by Una P Holden

This text investigates the nature of neuropsychological changes that occur with ageing and provides practical guidance for the multi-professional health care team caring for the elderly. The principal subjects discussed are new assessment techniques, the nature of Alzheimers disease and related dementias, head injury problems specific to the elderly, and retraining methods to increase the independence of the elderly. Management issues including drug therapy, nutrition, communication skills and patient education are also covered. This book should be of interest to nurses, geriatricians, and other professionals working with the elderly.
