| Annotation | The behaviour of a person with dementia does not happen in a vacuum. Behaviour may represent an expressed preference of the individual based on past life, or be the result of a situation being mismanaged by professionals or family carers. The environment can also influence behaviour. This booklet emphasises the need for a thorough assessment of each situation, and the need to view the person with dementia in a holistic way. The guide's content, by Graham Jackson and Guy Holloway, was edited by Alan Chapman. (RH). |
