Dementia and Social Inclusion
Marginalised groups and marginalised areas of dementia research, care and practice
Important Issues in Dementia Research and Care
Examining important issues in dementia research and care that are often neglected or marginalized, the contributors to this book provide fresh perspectives on current practice. The authors put dementia care into a socio-cultural framework, highlighting the impact of social change on dementia care over the last two decades and challenging current stereotypes.
The contributors address the implications of power relationships between carers and people with dementia and discuss a broad spectrum of issues, including:
the sexuality of people with dementia
communication and risk taking
people with dementia from minority ethnic groups
faecal incontinence
dementia care and practice in remote rural communities
Taking an in-depth look at dementia research and service development, this book makes essential reading for practitioners, researchers and students working in the field of dementia care.
