 some negative effects of dementia can be reduced in supportive social environments in which caregivers use person-centred approaches. (Eggen-berger et al,2013) 
 One reason for this is that nurses may not always give themselves enough time and space to absorb what these patients are trying to communications. if we talk over people with dementia or fail to read their communications because we see them as meaningless,they may react by acting out their frustrations or with-drawing into silence (Action et al 2007 ).
