£13.99Person-Centred Dementia Care: Making Services Better
By Dawn Brooker
Format: Paperback, 216mm x 138mm
The term “person centred care” has been widely used, misused and ill defined. It is used frequently in the aims and objectives for dementia care services and provision, although in practice what lies behind the rhetoric can be questionable. This book gives fresh definition to the important ideas behind and the implementation of person centred care for people with dementia.
Dawn Brooker explains the four key elements of person centred care that comprise the VIPS model: Valuing people with dementia and those who care for them (V); treating people as Individuals (I); looking at the world from the Perspective of the person with dementia (P); and a positive Social environment in which the person living with dementia can experience relative wellbeing (S). With an emphasis on practical application, Person Centred Dementia Care provides care organisations with clear, accessible guidelines on how to put the VIPS model into operation for effective care that is “fit for VIPs”. Part 2 of the book comprises the VIPS organisational reflection tool, which care providers can use to assess how well they think they are doing at providing person centred care.

£16.99Decision Making, Personhood and Dementia: Exploring the Interface
Edited by Deborah O’Connor and Barbara Purves
Format: Paperback, 234mm x 156mm
Dementia is a devastating disorder which may dramatically interfere with decision-making abilities. Effort has focused on trying to determine when a person is no longer capable of making particular decisions or is globally incompetent. However, much less focus has been placed on understanding how the capacity to make decisions influences one’s view of oneself, one’s world and one’s treatment by others. This book aims to broaden discussion around this issue by moving beyond a focus on notions of capability and competence to explore the importance of personhood and the underlying complexities of decision making for those with dementia.
Based on papers from the Centre for Research on Personhood in Dementia (CRPD) workshop, experts in dementia care, law, ethics and philosophy discuss the interface between dementia, personhood and decision making. Drawing on a wide range of interdisciplinary and international perspectives, the book forges new understandings of relationships between everyday, informal decision making and more formal biomedical or legal processes for assessing competence.
This collection of papers provides an in-depth understanding of decision making in relation to dementia for researchers, healthcare practitioners, service providers, legal professionals and anyone with an interest in personhood in dementia care.
£18.00Mental Health, Service User Involvement and Recovery
Edited by Jenny Weinstein
Format: Paperback, 234mm x 156mm
As the momentum for personalisation and recovery approaches grows, service users are increasingly participating as partners in all aspects of health and social care delivery, policy making and professional training. This book provides an overview of service user involvement in mental health, its origins and current practice and policy.
Written cooperatively by service users and academics, this book conveys a vital connection between recovery and involvement, offering a framework of values and helpful strategies to promote meaningful user participation. By sharing their personal narratives and contributing their views, service user authors demonstrate how taking control of their own care facilitates a swifter and more satisfying recovery. The book further acknowledges the bilateral value of user involvement in the development of mental health services, student learning, collaborative research and challenging social stigma, providing examples and critical appraisal of how this is currently being implemented.
With a strong, positive emphasis on the benefits to all stakeholders, Mental Health, Service User Involvement and Recovery offers guidelines for good practice that will be relevant to health and social care practitioners, service users, students, researchers and educators.
£18.00Co-Production and Personalisation in Social Care: Changing Relationships in the Provision of Social Care
Edited by Susan Hunter and Pete Ritchie
Format: Paperback, 234mm x 156mm
This book explores the theory and practice of the developing innovative practice of ‘co-production’ – a model of service in which users of a service will play an active and participatory role in the service provided to them, adopting a working partnership.
Examples of methods and services designed on co-production principles are given by the experienced contributors, including housing initiatives in which the users, rather than professionals, provide support to each other and criminal justice settings in which offenders participate in active restorative justice programmes.
