All the necessary information that clinicians need for working with people with mild cognitive impairment and dementia will be at their fingertips thanks to this book. From diagnosing dementia through differences between dementia subtypes to different types of interventions for treating and preventing dementia and assessing mental capacity, this book provides it all. The clear and concise, part-educational and part-instructional style, together with illustrative examples and useful tools such as checklists and decision trees, means that this book will serve as a fountain of knowledge and guidance for all members of the multidisciplinary team and not just psychologists. Dr Gerhand notes that he aimed to provide information 'all in one place' - he has certainly achieved this and he has achieved this well!'
