Review Caregiving Across Cultures: Working With Dementing Illness And Ethnically Diverse Populations / Routledge:

Seeking to assist professionals and care providers looking to develop culturally-based techniques for the care of dementia-afflicted elders, this book first presents the need for culturally sensitive care, and then describes how this method of care may be utilized, developed, approved, and evaluated.
