    Description

    Springer Dementia 1993 Edition by Allen Jack Edwards

    Dementia is a state that has implications for several groups. There are first those who wish to assess its nature and impact in an objective and scientific fashion using tools of research to uncover dementia's causes effects and parameters. The result has been a rapidly expanding literature in diverse disciplines: physiology chemistry neurology psychology and sociology among others. Second there are those professionals and caregivers who work di rectly with patients and other caregivers and who must assess and apply interventions. Third physicians are involved in diagnosis and treatment (so far as possible) and are responsible for communicating the ominous meanings of the destructive disease process. Fourth there are the caregivers who accept accountability for the future of a human who increasingly shows a "robbing of the mind" in his or her behaviors. The needs and stresses of those who care for and about those with progressive dementia are among the most intense imaginable. They need support of many kinds frequently without knowing what to ask or of whom to ask it. Finally there are the patients who increasingly become dependent as their mental competencies decline. They need empathic care-including answers to questions about cause stabilization or reversal of the de menting process. Even more they need cure. Further present and future generations need the assurance of prevention. This volume surveys present "knowledge" about dementia and its consequences. Table of contents : The Nature of Dementia. The Brain and Dementia. Identifying Dementia. Technology and Diagnosis. Dementia and Psychological Testing. Dementia and Psychiatric Disorders. Dementia and the Patient I.
