'This small book claims that individuals with dementia have a right to experience 'everyday citizenship'. By drawing on evidence from informal collaboration with individuals who have dementia, the book's arguments achieve a powerful authenticity. Reading the book helped me to realise that I had unwittingly fallen into the trap of viewing dementia as a disease that causes a swift and sudden end to individual capabilities. The book helped me to think again, and to acknowledge that dementia is a progressive disease. Individuals who receive a dementia diagnosis may retain considerable mental capability for a number of years after their diagnoses; therefore social workers need to respect their personhood and right to everyday citizenship. The book provides a good, easily graspable tool for acquiring increased understanding of dementia and developing practice that promotes inclusion as part of citizenship.'<p>European Journal of Social Work</p>
