Reviews

This sparkling collection highlights the contribution of interactional research on dementia, revealing the complex interplay between the person with dementia and the people around them - staff, family and friends. The multilingual focus is a welcome acknowledgement that we live and conduct our affairs - in sickness and health - in a world of overlapping languages and cultures.
