'Drawing from his wealth of experience, Dr Gerhand's book provides a comprehensive, yet easily digestible overview of dementia. Whilst this is a broad and complex field that requires the consideration of wide-ranging biopsychosocial factors, it provides excellent coverage of nuanced issues in a logical way. From elucidating the etiology and diagnostic criteria to delving into neurocognitive profiles, the text equips clinicians with invaluable insights to distinguish various dementias from conditions like Mild Cognitive Impairment. All of the chapters are very accessible and are providing an enriching content of case studies and resources. This is an excellent resource for professionals across all disciplines working in the field of dementia, promising to inform and guide their practice effectively. I will be personally using this for the work I undertake in this field.' James Stroud, Consultant Clinical Psychologist & Clinical Director, South Wales Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology, Cardiff University

'This is an invaluable resource for clinicians working in memory clinics and in the community. All the necessary information that clinicians need for working with people with mild cognitive impairment and dementia will be at their fingertips thanks to this book. From diagnosing dementia through differences between dementia subtypes to different types of interventions for treating and preventing dementia and assessing mental capacity, this book provides it all. The clear and concise, part-educational and part-instructional style, together with illustrative examples and useful tools such as checklists and decision trees, means that this book will serve as a fountain of knowledge and guidance for all members of the multidisciplinary team and not just psychologists. Dr Gerhand notes that he aimed to provide information 'all in one place' - he has certainly achieved this and he has achieved this well!' Rebecca Gould, Professor of Psychological Therapies & Honorary Clinical Psychologist, University College London
