Abstract
The disruptive behavior of persons with dementia is a problem of considerable clinical interest and growing scientific concern. This paper offers a view of these behaviors as expressions of unmet needs or goals and provides a comprehensive conceptual framework to guide further research and clinical practice. Empirical findings and clinical impressions related to wandering, vocalizations and aggression to support and illustrate the framework are presented.
