Zusammenfassung:An up-to-date clinical guide for healthcare professionals on the assessment, diagnosis and management of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), including the role played by neuropsychology in the diagnostic process. Written in an accessible style, it provides a reference book for qualified professionals and a valuable resource for students and trainees working in dementia services. The book covers the diagnosis and management of the most common forms of dementia, and some rarer types, and the latest advances in diagnostic technology and current and future treatment options. It explores non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive impairment and preventative measures to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Featuring the essential background information required by all clinicians working in the field, alongside a review of recent research and developments in the field. With an emphasis on the links between theory and practice, this is a must-read manual for clinicians working in memory clinics
