PAU Alum Co-Edits Textbook Addressing Latinx Dementia Care

PALO ALTO, CA — A Palo Alto University alum has co-edited and published a textbook on the care and treatment of dementia patients in the Latinx community.

Dr. Yvette Tazeau earned her M.S. and Ph.D. from Palo Alto University, where she studied aging, UC Davis Magazine reports.

“Caring for Latinxs with Dementia in a Globalized World: Behavioral and Psychosocial Treatments” addresses issues surrounding dementia care for Latinx patients in the United States and around the world.

Tazeau co-edited the textbook with Hector Y. Adames.

“We thought we could make a difference in the literature by providing information to clinicians in all fields,” Tazeau told the magazine.

“We envisioned bringing in pharmacists, social workers, neurologists, policy analysts. It was probably crazily ambitious in a good sense.”

She double-majored in psychology and Spanish at UC Davis, graduating in 1988 according to the report.
