he Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly (CANE) targets 24 areas of potential need in older people with dementia. Recommended by the Department of Health for the single assessment process introduced in the National Service Framework for Older People, it provides a comprehensive and holistic means of measuring the physical, social, psychological and environmental needs of older people. The CANE was developed in response to research which showed how the assessment of individual needs corresponded strongly with an older individual's health and quality of life.When needs are ignored, many older people with dementia experience health problems, both physically and psychologically, said Professor Orrell, explaining that the CANE helps clinicians to pinpoint areas of risk for an older person. He said: “The system offers a structured and generic assessment that can be applied by any competent health or social care professional. When implemented, it allows for sound clinical judgement that can be used alongside existing care protocols and pathways. It has a strong record of reliability and can be adapted to older people from a diverse range of settings and cultural backgrounds.”The book includes a manual, training pack, examples of the successful application of the CANE and results of studies carried out in day hospitals and long-term care facilities. Professor Orrell said: “The CANE has been shown to be a very useful measure for assessing the needs of older people and can also be used to evaluate services. This book will enable the researcher and clinicians interested in the CANE to have access to the latest version of the instrument. There are now 25 countries using the CANE and the number of translations available is steadily increasing.”The Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly (CANE) targets 24 areas of potential need in older people with dementia.

Mental health care increasingly faces a challenge to be 'evidence based'. However, despite much policy activity in the UK, it's still not clear what sort of evidence researchers should be producing for mental health services, or what purchasers should be looking for. Evidence in Mental Health Care evaluates a range of different research methodologies and types of 'evidence', and includes:* a historical and conceptual analysis of what was regarded as evidence in the past, and what impact it has had in mental health care* a presentation of different methodological approaches, and a discussion of their strengths and weaknesses in providing evidence* how evidence is applied in different treatment and care modalities* different angles on the way forward for providing appropriate evidence to improve current mental health care.Evidence in Mental Health Care will prove vital for the successful extension of evidence-based evaluation to mental health services in general. It will be essential reading for researchers, students and practitioners across the range of mental health disciplines, health service managers and purchasers of services.
