Reviews
'To call this book simply groundbreaking would belittle it. This is a book to break down prison walls...I have many books I value, but this book is in my top 10 from the past 40 years... I would make this an essential purchase for first-year students right across nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, social work and psychology but this is not an exclusive list...It is hard to find a superlative to describe how heartily and sincerelyI wish to recommend this book. It is great value for money, a pleasure to read and will be one of those book you will want to treasure for the rest of your career and probably beyond.' - Sue McBean, Lecturer, University of Ulster (THE Textbook Guide 26 May 2011) ""This book will make a valuable addition to our reading lists not only in the fields of learning disability and mental health but also for all nurses caring for those with dementia."" - Peter Griffin, Lecturer, School of Nursing & Midwifery, Queen's University Belfast 'This book brings together so many diverse and established practitioners from the field of arts and dementia care who have been pioneers in terms of the approaches adopted' - Claire Craig, Senior Lecturer and Researcher, Occupational Therapy, Faculty of Health and Well-being, Sheffield Hallam University, UK 'This book provides a refreshing new approach in the area of dementia care' - Christine Toye, Associate Professor, Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Post-graduate Medicine, Edith Cowan University, Australia 'What is creativity? Photographer Dewitt Jones (1999) defines it as 'a moment-a moment where we look at the ordinary, but see the extraordinary.' This simple definition describes what is so important about this book. - G. Allen Power, MD, FACP, Rochester, NY, USA (extract from the Foreword)
