The CLEAR Dementia Care© model is an effective method of assessing behaviour that challenges, through an understanding that such behaviour may be a way of communicating unmet needs. This book explains the many factors that contribute to challenging behaviour and how a greater understanding of this can enhance quality of life and lead to better care for the person with dementia in both hospital and residential settings.Discussing how people with dementia have the same needs as everyone else, the book helps to understand dementia from the perspective of the person experiencing it. It features case studies with examples of how to interpret signs of distress and develop an appropriate intervention plan. The model includes person-centred assessment of cognition, life story and personality, emotional and physical wellbeing, activity and environment, and relationships. Also included are easy-to-use photocopiable assessment tools, proven to facilitate a more accurate understanding of behaviour.

Frances Duffy has presented us with a very clearly written account of a relatively new biopsychosocial model for understanding and fulfilling the needs of people with dementia. The CLEAR framework has recently been cited as an example of good practice in the British Psychological Society's briefing paper on treatments for Behaviours that challenge.CLEAR is an example of one of the new and exciting generations of nonpharmacological interventions, although its use of Behavioural charts provide it with an USP that makes it stand out from the others. In terms of the book itself, it provides a good account of the background to the needs of people with dementia, and the model is well illustrated with helpful examples of case studies.
