“…The findings of this research are congruent with, and add new knowledge to, the literature regarding power dynamics and the formation of alliances and partnerships in decisionmaking (Adams, 2003;Adams & Clarke, 2001). The findings regarding contextual influences and inherent power dynamics can provide direction for social work practice in similar sociolegal encounters.…”

“…These approaches accepted that power dynamics play a significant role in the relationships between a person with dementia and those they interact with. For Adams (2003), triangular relationships result in different roles that can be played by the third person, or health professional, and a combination of alliances and collusions can be formed. Hughes, Hope, Reader, and Rice (2002) found that ethical differences were reflected in issues such as what were considered to be "the best interests and wishes" of the person with dementia.…”

“…Over the last 20 years, the dominant biomedical approach towards dementia care has increasingly been challenged (Downs, 2000;Lyman, 1989) and two divergent psychosocial approaches have emerged (see Adams, 2003). The first approach highlights the subjective experience of the person with dementia (Downs, 1997;Woods, 2001) and argues that people with dementia are susceptible to psychosocial interventions and are often able to make choices about the sort of care they want to receive (Feinberg & Whitlatch, 2001;Goldsmith, 1996).…”

This article develops an approach towards dementia care that highlights the nature of dementia care triads comprising the person with dementia, their informal carer, and the health and social professional. In particular, the article highlights various social practices that are shown, from our practice, to contribute towards the inclusion or exclusion of particular triad members. The article reviews existing work on triadic interaction, particularly in relationship to dementia care. Various communication processes are identified and illustrated using examples taken from casework. The implications of this approach for theory, practice, education, and research within dementia care are discussed.

“…As Fortinsky (2001) and others have argued (see Hasselkus, 1994; Nolan et al. , 2002a,b; Adams, 2003), developing triadic partnerships between the person with dementia, the family and service provider(s) that supports and facilitates multiple constructions of each situation/reality can help to dissipate power and provide a ‘relationship‐centred’ approach to caring situations (Nolan et al. , 2001, 2003a,b); a concept that should extend to the psychosocial training of practitioners (Tresolini & the Pew‐Fetzer Task Force, 1994).…”

People Nursing in association with Journal of Clinical Nursing 13, 6b, 57-67 Community mental health nursing and early intervention in dementia: developing practice through a single case history This paper reports on a single case history taken from the 'Dementia Action Research and Education' project, a 15-month primary care intervention study that was undertaken in North Wales in the early part of 2000. The study sought to address the meaning, context and diversity of early intervention in dementia care and employed a community mental health nurse and a psychiatric social worker to undertake early and psychosocial interventions with older people with dementia (aged 75 years and over) and their families. The workers tape-recorded, documented and analysed their interventions with 27 older people with dementia and their families over the 15-month duration of the study. Clinical supervision was also undertaken during the intervention phase. One case history is presented in this paper to illustrate the work of the community mental health nurse and to identify areas of practice development. Greater role transparency, collaborative working and improvement in educational preparation for practice are called for.
