Rezensionen

'Gary Christopher has produced a comprehensive, informative and accessible text to understand dementia and its treatment. He combines research, academic evidence and translates theory into a highly readable book, useful for a variety of disciplinary areas and which makes essential reading for professionals and anyone studying dementia and ageing.'

Judith Phillips, OBE, Deputy Principal (Research) at the University of Stirling, Professor of Gerontology, and Research Director for the Healthy Ageing Challenge delivered by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

'Although research on the dementias continues to be the poor relation of medical and psychosocial research, it covers a wide range of areas, from the biological to the sociological, and is expanding continually. Gary Christopher has bravely tackled the challenge of providing a primer that covers the breadth of research and treatment and has succeeded in producing a work that is accessible to the non-specialist and personal in its tone. By offering a research-informed context, the book serves as a useful companion to the now widely available accounts written by people living with dementia, who provide an invaluable "insider" view of the condition.'

Bob Woods, Professor Emeritus at Bangor University.
