Aggression in
Dementia
Continuing Studies at the University of Victoria
Often aggression expressed by a person with dementia is a form of survival.
It is by understanding the meaning behind this behaviour that we can
find interventions which will positively affect both the patient and
caregiver. Caregivers will develop a deeper understanding of the foundation
of aggression in individuals with dementia, along with strategies for
preventing, diffusing, and coping with this behaviour.
