What is the real nature of the dementing process? What might we reasonably expect when dementia care is of very high quality? What is required of organizations and individuals involved in dementia care? Tom Kitwood breaks new ground in this book. Many ofthe older ideas about dementia are subjected to critical scrutiny and reappraisal, drawing on research evidence, logical analysis and the author's own experience. The unifying theme is the personhood of men and women who have dementia - an issue that was grossly neglected for many years both in psychiatry and care practice. Each chapter provides a definitive statement on a major topic related to dementia, for example: the nature of 'organic mental impairment,' the experience of dementia, the agenda for care practice, and the transformation of the culture of care. While recognizing the enormous difficulties of the present day, the book clearly demonstrates the possibility of a better life for people who have dementia, and comes to a cautiously optimistic conclusion. It will be of interest to all professionals involved in dementia care or provision, students in courses involving psychogeriatrics or social work with older people, and family carers of people with dementia.

This substantially revised edition expands the use of the Pool Activity Level (PAL) instrument to include clients with cognitive disabilities as well those with dementia. Originally developed as a framework for developing meaningful occupation for people with dementia, the PAL instrument is now in place as the basis of activity-based care models in several NHS trusts, as well as being used by carers at home and professionals in many sectors and settings. This resource guides the reader through a series of clear practical steps and uses case studies to enable them to understand, plan and implement activities. The instrument includes photocopiable activity checklists and plans that take into account users' life histories and help to match abilities with activities. Following two years of feedback from practitioners and carers, the author has refined the instrument, allowing it to be tailored more closely to the needs of individual users and has included new features such as an outcome sheet and reformatted checklists.
