Summary

This symposium will introduce newly developed core competences, which have been designed to support the delivery of psychotherapy (sometimes called talking therapy) for people living with dementia and their families. This is a framework of statements that allows therapists to think about whether they have the knowledge, confidence, and understanding of dementia to deliver psychotherapy to people whose lives have been affected by dementia.
