Call for papers Special Issue “Taking care of the patient with dementia: from multidisciplinary assessment to intervention”. Populations ageing continues to grow, and the burden of neurodegenerative disease is increasing. In this perspective the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is expected to rise. Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias are being intensively investigated, there is not yet effective therapies that efficiently interferes with disease pathogenesis. The social impact and the costs of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are enormous and involve healthcare programs, social assistance paths, formal and informal caregivers. Research approaches have shown promise in addressing these critical needs, but Although AD and other dementias are being intensively investigated, they will require collaboration of researchers across multiple fields. Journal of Clinical & Developmental Psychology invites you to submit manuscripts for a special issue dedicated to different interdisciplinary approaches for early diagnosis, evidence-based treatment and caregiver management, necessary to address the high social impact of this disease. The journal welcomes submissions across all disciplines within the interdisciplinary research, prevention, early diagnosis, multidimensional treatment, and multidisciplinary management. We welcome submissions, including original research papers and reviews, reports and other manuscript on these essential topics. Articles should be submitted by April, 2021. Accepted articles that fall into the scope described above will be included in a Special Issue Collection that will be published in early 2021. When submitting, please specify in your cover letter that you are submitting to “Taking care of the patient with dementia: from multidisciplinary assessment to intervention”.
