What If It's Not Alzheimer's A Caregiver's Guide to Dementia

Although the public most often associates dementia with Alzheimer's disease, the medical profession now distinguishes various types of 'other' dementias. This book is the first comprehensive guide dealing with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), one of the largest groups of non-Alzheimer's dementias. Designed as both a resource and a reference guide, this useful and up-to-date handbook contains twenty-five chapters full of practical information that caregivers of FTD patients need every day. The contributors are either specialists in their fields or have exceptional hands-on experience with FTD sufferers. This much-needed resource work, the first of its kind, provides a wealth of information to both healthcare professionals and caregivers of someone suffering from frontotemporal dementia.Radin, Lisa is the author of 'What If It's Not Alzheimer's A Caregiver's Guide to Dementia', published 2003 under ISBN 9781591020875 and ISBN 1591020875.
