Description and Table of Contents
Description
Dementia is most frequently associated with aging and is, at present, under-diagnosed and under-represented all over the world. Discrepancies in the diagnostic procedures and therapeutic interventions implemented in the various clinical contexts are significant and consequently, the need for a review of the currently available research evidence and a discussion of different clinical practices is urgently needed. This book provides a much needed review of the diagnostic procedures and the implementations of therapeutic interventions. Provides accompanying commentaries by an outstanding line up of contributors Covers developments in diagnosis, therapy, prognosis, economic evaluation and quality improvement Provides an unbiased and reliable reference point
