Reseña del editor

This book is a guide to understanding, preventing and redirecting difficult behaviors associated with dementia. It presents a framework for assessing behaviors and creating successful individualized approaches, which are designed to reduce or eliminate the use of physical restraints and inappropriate psychoactive medications. The authors emphasize the importance of examining the environment to see how it may be creating difficult behaviors and how it can be altered to reduce or eliminate them. The book is designed to meet the new federal practice standards mandated by OBRA. Nurses, social workers, nursing home administrators, activities directors, and students of gerontology will find this a valuable resource.
