| Summary |
"A multidisciplinary and practical new book, Approaches to Discourse in Dementia, offers tools for future speech-language pathologists to investigate interactions between persons with and persons without dementia. The book advances the study of discourse in the presence of dementia by systematically exploring and applying different approaches to free conversational data sets, collected and transcribed by the authors. The focus of the book is on the context of the evolving interaction between the clinician or caregiver and patient, not on the disorder of dementia itself. The perspectives that emerge will be useful in both clinical and nursing home settings. The applied methodologies and theories comprise an important sourcebook for students, researchers, and practitioners alike."--BOOK JACKET |
