This is a very interesting book based on the work of Penny Garner and her SPECAL system of dementia care. Basically the idea is you don't question the patients reality or impose your reality on them. I can see these ideas working really well whilst the patient is at home and it could even theoretically working in nursing homes if you could find a home that was willing to follow the ideas, which could be a struggle. The problems could come in hospital care but again it could work if you gave the staff enough information and they were willing to work with these ideas.
Overall very interesting stuff which could even work if more people knew about the ideas.
8/10
