</script>This chapter considers the application of a number of psychological interventions: cognitive-focused approaches, behavioural therapy interventions, and interventions for comorbid conditions such as depression and anxiety. In dementia care, the evidence base on the use of psychological interventions is continually strengthening. There are still gaps, especially in relation to psychological interventions for people with early dementia. For psychological interventions to be successful, these must be delivered, using effective communication, within a therapeutic relationship. Good communication alone is not sufficient to deliver a range of effective interventions; rather, a therapeutic relationship and, within it, the interpersonal skills that build this relationship are the foundation with which effective interventions are built. A therapeutic relationship is a purposeful and positive relationship by which the practitioner assists the service user in the user's journey to recovery. However recovery is a concept not usually associated with dementia care.
