A book on "Management of Patients with Dementia" has recently been published in electronic and print format. This book provides an overall introduction to the medical management of dementia, with chapters dedicated to specific topics such as pain, epilepsy, vascular risk factors in dementia and review of medication, which are often not addressed in books on the subject, and thereby filling a gap in the field. This book is aimed at clinicians of different specialties (mainly neurology, psychiatry, geriatric medicine and general practice/family medicine) who manage patients with dementia on a regular basis, and thus provides useful guidance to be used in the clinic.
Jean Georges, Executive Director, Dianne Gove, Director for Projects and Ana Diaz, Project Officer, Alzheimer Europe, contributed a chapter on "Diagnosis and Support of Patients with Dementia: A Patient Perspective on Current Goals and Practice". Members of the European Working Group of People with Dementia also contributed a number of testimonials, to a different chapter of the book.
