- Title
Difficult behaviour and dementia in nursing homes: five cases of psychosocial intervention.
- Authors
Moniz-Cook, Esme; Stokes, Graham; Agar, Sharon
- Abstract
Psychosocial interventions in five people, who presented with uncooperative and difficult behaviour at mealtimes and during assistance with self-care tasks, are described. In four cases, a single case experimental design was used. The results are discussed in the context of ‘rementia’ and a broadly defined functional analytic perspective to assessment and intervention. In contrast to the standard neurogenic-disease paradigm, a person-centred holistic model of dementia is proposed for the understanding and amelioration of distress in people with dementia who are seen as difficult or ‘challenging’.
