Abstract "A New Approach to Dementia: Examining Sensory and Perceptual Impairment is a groundbreaking work which highlights the non-memory impairments of the dementias to improve both early recognition of dementia and clinical diagnosis, as well as interventions and care. It focuses clinical attention on the significant evidence supporting the existence of many types of sensory and perception-related changes/abnormalities at the early stages of the disease and throughout its progression. Providing a holistic overview of the field, the book includes self-reports of people with dementia, alongside an in-depth discussion of the application of the findings about non memory impairments to clinical care and management. It leads a movement to address the over-focus on memory function in dementia and ageing, arguing for the need to test sensory and perceptual abnormalities to improve clinical practice and research into dementia and associated disorders. With both scientific and clinical relevance, this book is essential for clinicians and researchers in ageing and dementia as well as carers working with people living with dementia, students of neuropsychology/neurocognition, medicine and health and social care"-- Provided by publisher.
