"For some years now, Tom Kitwood's work on dementia care has stood out as the most important, innovative and creative development in a field that has for too long been neglected. This book is a landmark in dementia care; it brings together, and elaborates on, Kitwood's theory of dementia and of person-centred care in an accessible fashion, that will make this an essential source for all working and researching in the field of dementia care." -Robert Woods, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Wales "Over the last ten years or so Tom Kitwood has made a truly remarkable contribution to our understanding of dementia, and to raising expectations of what can be achieved with empathy and skill. This lucid account of his thinking and work will communicate his approach to a yet wider audience. It is to be warmly welcomed." -Mary Marshall, Director of the Dementia Services Development Centre, University of Stirling * What is the real nature of the dementing process? * What might we reasonably expect when dementia care is of very high quality? * What is required of organizations and individuals involved in dementia care? Tom Kitwood breaks new ground in this book. Many of the older ideas about dementia are subjected to critical scrutiny and reappraisal, drawing on research evidence, logical analysis and the author's own experience. The unifying theme is the personhood of men and women who have dementia - an issue that was grossly neglected for many years both in psychiatry and care practice.Each chapter provides a definitive statement on a major topic related to dementia, for example: the nature of 'organic mental impairment', the experience of dementia, the agenda for care practice, and the transformation of the culture of care. While recognizing the enormous difficulties of the present day, the book clearly demonstrates the possibility of a better life for people who have dementia, and comes to a cautiously optimistic conclusion. It will be of interest to all professionals involved in dementia care or provision, students on courses involving psychogeriatrics or social work with older people, and family carers of people with dementia.

"Welchen Beitrag kann christliche Seelsorge zur Begleitung von Menschen mit Demenz leisten? Das Gespräch als zentrales Medium stößt bei Menschen mit fortgeschrittener Demenz an Grenzen. In der aktuellen interdisziplinären Diskussion um die Begleitung von Menschen mit Demenz geht es jedoch nicht nur um kommunikative Konzepte, sondern vielfach um die Arbeit an Demenzbildern. Gängige defizitäre Demenzbilder, die ausschließlich von einem negativen Verlauf sprechen, werden zunehmend hinterfragt. Seelsorge kann einen relevanten Beitrag zur spirituellen Begleitung leisten, wenn sie theologisch über das Leben nachdenkt. Neben theoretischen Auseinandersetzungen mit aktueller demenzbezogener Forschung aus Medizin, Psychologie und Theologie bietet der Band konkrete Anregungen und Modelle für Seelsorgende, die Menschen mit Demenz begleiten. Am Beispiel einer Institution wird aufgezeigt, was die spezialisierte Seelsorge für Menschen mit Demenz auf praktischer Ebene vermag." --

OECD countries are developing strategies to improve the quality of life of those affected by dementia and to support long-term efforts for a disease-modifying therapy or cure. The OECD jointly hosted an international workshop in Toronto with the Ontario Brain Institute (OBI) and the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation (IHPME), University of Toronto on 14-15 September 2014. The aim of the workshop was to advance international discussion of the opportunities and challenges, as well as successful strategies, for sharing and linking the massive amounts of population-based health and health care data that are routinely collected (broad data) with detailed clinical and biological data (deep data) to create an international resource for research, planning, policy development, and performance improvement. The workshop brought together leading researchers and academics, industry and non-government experts to provide new insights into the opportunities and challenges in making “broad and deep” data a reality – from funding to data standards, to data sharing, to new analytics, to protecting privacy, and to engaging with stakeholders and the public. Government leadership and public-private partnership will be needed to create and sustain big data resources, including financing for data infrastructure and incentives for data sharing.
