Specifikacia Dementia and human rights Cahill Suzanne Paperback
The time has come to further challenge biomedical and clinical thinking about dementia, which has for so long underpinned policy and practice.

A human rights-based approach has not to date been fully applied to interrogate the lived experience and policy response to dementia. With the fresh analytical tools
