Living With Dementia - Community Care of the Elderly Mentally Infirm

In the early 1980s, it had only recently been appreciated that what was known of the epidemiology of dementia in the elderly living in the community was just the tip of the iceberg. First published in 1984, this book presents information on the nature of dementia, its prevalence and the pattern of services available at the time.
