Neuropsychological Rehabilitation and People with Dementia

<p>Rehabilitation provides a core concept around which to organise support intervention and care for people with impairments in memory and other cognitive functions. This book introduces a conceptual framework and rationale for the application of a neuropsychological rehabilitation approach for people with dementia helping them to manage bypass or overcome these problems and experience optimum well-being.</p><p>Methods and techniques of cognitive rehabilitation are described and the process of goal-setting is discussed in detail showing how effective strategies may be linked to form an individualised goal-oriented approach to intervention. The application of a rehabilitation approach in real-life contexts is explored demonstrating the role and value of neuropsychological rehabilitation within a holistic psychotherapeutic framework of care and support.</p><p>This overview of the neuropsychological rehabilitation approach to dementia care will be of great interest to psychologists as well as to those studying or practising in the area.</p>
