They are mainly academic books and articles. I have highlighted publications aimed at practitioners in yellow, and for more enjoyable reading I’ve included a few novels and insider accounts of living with dementia from people with dementia and their carers – there are plenty more of these. Over the years the Journal of Dementia Care has published a lot of very good articles aimed at practitioners rather than academics. It’s worth looking through back numbers for articles of interest if you have access to a library or organisation that takes this journal, or searching on their web-site.
