Recenzii

`... one of the few `state of the art' books on the methods of caring for people with dementia currently available ... merits a wide multidisciplinary readership. ...

`... a valuable publication which deserves a wide audience; it brings enthusiasm to and engenders optimism in an area of work that has until recently been viewed as rather `second class'.' - International Social Work
