Studies in dementia are currently dominated by an overwhelming interest in Alzheimer's Disease. With considerable advances taking place in the understanding of non-AD dementias, the authors were aware of a need for a comprehensive text with a holistic multidisciplinary approach to the subject. They have brought together an international team of experts to produce the most detailed and up-to-date text available covering management and prevention, and highlighting the relationship between cerebrovascular disease and dementias. Targeted primarily at clinicians, this book is an essential reference for all those working with the elderly.
