Review: This book, primarily for nursing students, develops the theory of dementia care from a person-centred approach to a whole systems practical approach, looking not only at those with dementia, but also their families. The emphasis is on care and the authors consider the families, nurses’ competencies and skills, clinical settings, supervision, social policies, relationships, ethics and laws that all play a part in dementia care.
