Meaningful touch is an important component of genuine person-centered care for people with dementia; however, it is often considered secondary due to perceived risks. This book restores confidence in the potential of touch. It illustrates how crucial touch is for strengthening personality, relationships, and well-being, and addresses the barriers that prevent staff from effectively utilizing touch. Luke Tanner presents various types of touch and discusses the topics of consent and protection in this context, demonstrating how to maximize the benefits of touch while minimizing its negative effects within the framework of care. At the end of each chapter, which are all interesting and well-structured, care and health professionals will find guidance.
