'I've had the privilege of working with Dr Hamill and Dr McCarthy for many years and have seen the positive impact their work has had. They – and the carers and people with dementia who have helped produce this book – have distilled their positive, strengths-based approach and an absolute wealth of learning into a wonderfully accessible, informative and generous guide to caring for a person with dementia and for oneself as a carer. Despite 25 years of experience with dementia, I have learned plenty here to take back into clinical practice. <i>How to Help Someone with Dementia</i> synthesises the very best available practical advice and evidence on the subject and I'll be highly recommending this book to everyone involved in dementia care'

- Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Juliette Brown, Newham Older Adult Mental Health service, ELFT,
