      abstract = {This volume provides a broad and critical presentation of  the behavioral and psychosocial treatments of Latinxs with  dementia in the United States (U.S.) and across a  representative sample of Spanish-speaking countries in the  world. The compendium of chapters, written by researchers,  practitioners, and policy analysts from multiple  disciplines provides a deep exploration of the current  state of dementia care for Latinxs in the U.S. and around  the globe. The volume is designed to increase and  strengthen the collective scientific and sociocultural  understanding of the epidemiological and biopsychosocial  factors, as well as the overlapping systemic challenges  that impact diagnosis and symptom management of Latinxs  with dementia. The authors introduce policy options to  reduce risk factors for dementia and present  culturally-responsive interventions that meet the needs of  Latinx patients and their caregivers. Highlighted topics  featured in the book include: Contextual, cultural, and  socio-political issues of Latinxs with dementia. New  meta-analysis of dementia rates in the Americas and  Caribbean. Dementia-related behavioral issues and placement  considerations. Educational, diagnostic, and supportive  psychosocial interventions. Pharmacological,  non-pharmacological, and ethnocultural healthcare  interventions. Intersectionality as a practice of dementia  care for sexual and gender minoritized Latinxs.  Prescriptions for policy and programs to empower older  Latinxs and their families. Caring for Latinxs with  Dementia in a Globalized World: Behavioral and Psychosocial  Treatments is a resource thataccentuates and contextualizes  the heterogeneity in nationality, immigration, race, sexual  orientation, gender, and political realities. It is a key  reference for a wide range of fields inclusive of  demography, geriatrics, gerontology, medicine, mental  health, neurology, neuropsychology, nursing, occupational  therapy, pharmacology, psychiatry, psychology,  rehabilitation, social work, sociology, and statistics all  of which, collectively, bear on the problem and the  solutions for better care for Latinxs affected by  dementia.},
