With the recent licensing of memantine, clinicians finally have a drug option that will delay disease progression.   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSevere Dementia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is the first book to focus exclusively on severe dementia. It addresses both the clinical features of the disease and the social aspects of care. Introductory chapters on the differential diagnosis, neurochemistry and molecular pathology of severe dementia set the scene for the clinical discussion. Detailed clinical chapters on cognitive function, depression, physical effects, staging and function follow. All therapeutic interventions are then discussed, including memantine, anticholinesterases, neuroleptics and non-pharmacological treatment. The final chapters review the social and economic aspects of dementia care, including family involvement, person-centered care, palliative care, ethics and health economics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten and edited by experts in geriatric psychiatry and geriatrics, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSevere Dementia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is of value to all clinicians involved in the management of this complex and vulnerable group of patients. It is also of interest to general practitioners and carers in nursing homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of contributors.  \u003cp\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 1: INTRODUCTORY.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Assessment and Diagnosis of Severe Dementia (\u003ci\u003ePaul Newhouse and Joseph Lasek\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Neurochemistry of Severe Dementia (\u003ci\u003eSally I.
