For friends and family members of people with dementia, understanding the condition and coping with the impact it has on their lives can be extremely challenging. This book, written specifically for friends and relatives, explores each stage of the "journey with dementia" and explains not only how it will affect the person with the condition, but also those around them, and how best to offer support and where to get professional and informal assistance. It focuses on the progressive nature of dementia and the issues that can arise as a result and gives practical advice that can help ensure the best possible quality of life both for the person with dementia and the people around them. A comprehensive and practical introduction to the condition, this book is essential reading for anyone who has a friend or relative with dementia.

Thompson, Rachel, Dr.
