| dc.description.abstract | When preparing the new edition of this book the editors were keenly aware that such debate was occurring around the world. Consequently, rather than provide a chapter as previously on the diagnostic criteria for dementia, the editors invited authors from several perspectives to discuss aspects of this complex melee. These short contributions are not intended to provide a comprehensive coverage of these interrelated issues, but it is hoped they will stimulate the thinking and inform the understanding of readers. They represent work in progress, and any attempt at the present time to give a didactic account will rapidly become obsolete. Therefore we think the reader will find these thoughtful contributions of more value. Many of the subjects they touch upon are dealt with in more detail in the chapters that follow.
