Bo Hejlskov Elv+¬n is a Clinical Psychologist based in Sweden. He is an independent consultant and lecturer on autism and challenging behaviour, and an accredited Studio III trainer.

Introduction.
1. Always identify who it is that has a problem.
2. People behave well if they can.
3. People do what makes sense.
4. The one that takes responsibility can make a difference.
5. People with dementia no longer learn.
I have admired the best dementia care practice in Denmark for many years. They use an inclusive approach that does not blame or stigmatise but that uses positive action to make a real difference. Within this book you will find an intensely practical approach focussing on some of the most challenging situations we face in everyday care. Highly recommended!
