This is a book to break down prison walls...I have many books I value, but this book is in my top 10 from the past 40 years... I would make this an essential purchase for first-year students right across nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, social work and psychology but this is not an exclusive list...It is hard to find a superlative to describe how heartily and sincerely I wish to recommend this book. It is great value for money, a pleasure to read and will be one of those book you will want to treasure for the rest of your career and probably beyond.' - Sue McBean, Lecturer, University of Ulster (THE Textbook Guide 26 May 2011) 'This book brings together so many diverse and established practitioners from the field of arts and dementia care who have been pioneers in terms of the approaches adopted' - Claire Craig, Senior Lecturer and Researcher, Occupational Therapy, Faculty of Health and Well-being, Sheffield Hallam University, UK 'This book provides a refreshing new approach in the area of dementia care' - Christine Toye, Associate Professor, Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Post-graduate Medicine, Edith Cowan University, Australia 'What is creativity?
