This resource list contains information on selected books, journal articles, films, tapes and exercises which may be useful in training staff or volunteers who are working with `confused', `mentally infirm' or `mentally ill' elderly people. It does not set out to provide a blue print for a programme of training of a training package in its own right. The aim has been to bring together a range of materials which individual trainers can use and adapt depending on their own needs, job roles and skills.
