Books by Gary Morris

Dementia doesn't just affect the person with the diagnosis, but their family and friends too. This book provides practitioners with strategies to support families living with dementia pre- to post-diagnosis, using the story of a family and based on research throughout to help practitioners understand the lived experiences of everyone involved.

This text highlights individuals¿ own lived and felt experience, in order to share expertise about mental health problems. Looking at five common mental health states ¿ anxiety, depression, mood extremes, states of altered reality and impaired cognition ¿ the book also addresses the experience of care offered by health and social services and the impact of other people¿s responses. Drawing on personal narratives from a range of sources, this text foregrounds the voices of experts by experience, relates those voices to the academic literature and emphasises the importance of person-centred care and participation by services users in their own care.

This workbook builds upon the person-centred approach to dementia care, and gives students, practitioners and carers a new way of looking at dementia and the people who live with it.
