Understanding dementia and Alzheimer's disease

Experience, help, care: a practical guidebook

Caring for people with dementia can be a feat of strength. Often because you no longer understand them, you lose access to their world. Huub Buijssen's standard work shows what goes on in the minds of dementia patients. The psychogerontologist explains clearly and with the help of many examples what dementia is, describes the course of the disease and gives advice for everyday life. How do you make contact with dementia patients and respond to their mood and behavioral problems? And: How do you take care of yourself as a caregiver?
Huub Buijssen, whose parents suffered from dementia themselves, provides real-life and expert advice for the many challenges that dementia poses for family members in almost all areas of life. This knowledge takes away the uncertainty in everyday life and offers practical help for a balanced coexistence.
