Topics include:

An update on the many genetic findings in Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies

Biological markers of Parkinson’s disease dementia

Symptomatic and disease-modifying treatments, including drugs and other potential preventive or stabilizing methods

Advice for managing the difficult later stages of dementia in long-term care

New assessment scales

Management of dementia using primary and secondary prevention

Drug treatments for patients with specific causes of dementia

Treatments based on an individual’s phenotypic and genetic features

Reviews for Management of Dementia, Second Edition

When I was asked to review this book I thought, Not another guide to demetia! I was right - this isn't yet another guide to dementia. It is an excellent, helpful and practical book, and one that I greatly enjoyed. Unlike so many books I see, I believe I'll actually use this one - Geriatrics and Aging '...an excellent pocket reference' - The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences
