Cognitive reframing for carers of people with dementia

The challenges of dementia extend to the people providing care for the person affected and the search for effective strategies to help them is an important one.

Myrra Vernooij-Dassen (top) from the University Medical Centre Nijmegen in the Netherlands outlines the findings of the review she has done with Irena Draskovic (below), Jenny McCleery and Murna Downs.
