TOM KITWOOD ON DEMENTIA, A READER AND CRITICAL COMMENTARY by Clive
Baldwin and Andrea Capstick
Both at the University of Bradford, UK
ISBN: 978-0-335-22271-1 - Oct 2007 - Paperback - 384pp - GBP19.99
Tom Kitwood was one of the most influential writers on dementia of the
last 20 years. Key concepts and approaches from his work on
person-centred care and well-being in dementia have gained international
recognition and shaped much current thinking about practice development.
This Reader brings together twenty original publications by Kitwood
which span the entire period of his writing on dementia, and the
different audiences for whom he wrote.
Almost ten years after Kitwood's death, it is now timely to review his
contribution to the field of dementia studies in the light of more
recent developments and from a critical and interdisciplinary
perspective. The introduction to this Reader summarises and
problematises some of the key characteristics of Kitwood's writing. Each
of the four themed sections begins with a commentary offering a balanced
consideration of the strengths of Kitwood's work, but also of its
limitations and oversights. The Reader also includes a biography and
annotated bibliography.
TOM KITWOOD ON DEMENTIA, A READER AND CRITICAL COMMENTARY is key reading
for students of social work or mental health nursing, with an interest
in dementia care.
Kind regards, Bryony.
