“…However, in the utilisation of a constructivist model there is evidence that the recall of early memories has a strong impact on the ability of a client to reflect and effect change in their current situation (Hartung & Vess, 2016). A narrative based on memory may limit or enhance the effectiveness of this approach for some clients living with dementia depending on the pathology, symptomology and disease trajectory (Budson & Solomon, 2016;Camicioli, 2014;Lyketsos, 2016;World Health Organization, 2012). Given the trajectory of dementia, this raises questions of should career development practitioners be working with the client as they are "now" or as they "were" or how they might be in "the future"?…”

“…Gati et al (2010) argue for a more holistic range of career decision-making profiles that focus on wider characteristics and encompass the present situation. The appropriateness of the decision-styles approach would depend on the symptomology experienced by an individual client living with dementia, as symptoms may include difficulties with decision making (Budson & Solomon, 2016;Camicioli, 2014;Lyketsos, 2016;World Health Organization, 2012). Close working ties between the career guidance professional, the person living with dementia, and other members of the multidisciplinary teams supporting the individual would be key in ascertaining whether the decision-styles approach would be appropriate.…”

“…Dementia is a term that describes a number of progressive neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia (Budson & Solomon, 2016;World Health Organization, 2012). Symptoms include memory loss; difficulties with thinking, decision making and problem-solving; sleep disturbance; and impaired visuospatial ability (Budson & Solomon, 2016;Camicioli, 2014;Lyketsos, 2016;World Health Organization, 2012). Although prevalence of dementia increases with age, between 2-10% of all cases of dementia start before the age of 65 (World Health Organization, 2012).…”

The World Health Organization's Active Ageing policy framework highlights the need for economic and social engagement in communities to maintain and promote healthy ageing and quality of life. This framework does not address the needs of those living with long-term health conditions such as dementia. Although continued employment is not appropriate for all, it is possible for many living with dementia. Despite the numerous contributions that career counselling could make to support people living with dementia we found no consideration of the specific career development needs of people living with dementia in the literature. In this paper we outline the key role that career development professionals could play in the multidisciplinary teams of professionals supporting persons living with dementia.

Language Awareness

In multi-ethnic contexts, it is not uncommon to find that dementia carers or their clients are using a language they are not comfortable, or not fluent, in, as the medium for communication in care. In extreme cases, there could be no shared linguistic code at all. This paper asks how feasible it is to provide adequate care with inadequate mutual language knowledge. In particular, it challenges the claims of some care-providers that nonverbal communication is a legitimate substitute for linguistic interaction.With reference to two recent models of aspects of communication (Li, 2018; Wray, forthcoming) the paper offers new insights into the necessary parameters for effective interaction. The conclusions have important implications for future decisions in dementia care. Meanwhile, the account extends the boundaries of language awareness by demonstrating the social importance of developing insights into linguistic practices in challenging contexts.

“…Statistical data warn that 7.7 million new cases each year worldwide have been added on top of the existing 47.5 million people with dementia [1]. Dementia is a neuro-degenerative syndrome [2] caused by a reduction in the number of neurons, resulting in a deterioration of neuronal structure and functions, which incurs a progressive or chronic decline in cognition, thinking, memory, comprehension, language, learning, judgement, behaviour, emotion, and self-care [3]. These impairments demand about 1% of the global gross domestic product [4] to serve patients and their families, and deplete the workforce in cases where young-onset dementia begins before 65 years old [5].…”

(1) Background: Dementia erodes the quality of life of patients and their caregivers, and the growing dementia population threatens public finance in the health and social services. In addition to formal medical treatments, complementary and alternative medicine is applicable to dementia, in which acupuncture has become an option for prevention, remedy, and rehabilitation. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical method that uses needle penetration at acupoints (specific points throughout the body which will be stimulated for therapeutic achievements), resulting in alleviating dementia symptoms; for example, enhancements in cognition, memory, language, behaviour, emotion, and self-care. (2) Methods: This narrative review analyses 44 clinical human-based studies conducted 1998-2017, pertaining to 3078 participants who were 45-100 years old in Austria, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and the USA. (3) Results: This review offers an overview of various methods of acupuncture (using acupuncture alone or combined with other therapies), and how they can be conducive to people inflicted by dementia. (4) Conclusions: This study also reveals future research directions to develop acupuncture, which offers a novel approach to health care practitioners and patients.
