    Exploring Tom Kitwood's groundbreaking framework that preserves personhood in dementia care by focusing on relationships and psychological needs rather than just cognitive decline.

    Kitwood's Revolutionary Person-Centered Dementia Care Approach

    Miglior citazione da Kitwood's Revolutionary Person-Centered Dementia Care Approach

    “

    Personhood is a standing or status that is bestowed upon one human being, by others, in the context of relationship and social being. It isn't something you just have—it's something that emerges through relationships.
