About this work

Description

"Tackling the ‘last taboo’ in dementia care, this book explores how intimacy and attachment are integral in the wellbeing and identity of all humans, including those with dementia. Lipinska uses accessible neuroscience and person-centred compassion to demonstrate how the sexuality of people with dementia can be better understood and supported by those experiencing dementia as well as their loved ones and professional carers."--From back cover.
