Description and Table of Contents
Description
A guide and source book for all who work or train in the field of dementia research and care. It optimistically reviews recent progress from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The authors, from various academic backgrounds, share a common concern with caring for the demented. Dementia is a fast growing health problem, due to the increase in life expectancy and general standards of health. Recognition of the variety of diseases that give rise to it, its underlying molecular and neurochemical abnormalities and the distress and disability it causes are all reflected in this book.
