About this product

Product Information

Few conditions upon first diagnosis strike such terror into victims and relatives as Alzheimer's disease. The dementia that is its best-known symptom can provoke feelings of helplessness and despair, coupled with fear that the patient will inevitably suffer loss of dignity and self-respect. For over 30 years, the author has practised a communication-based form of care. She shows how, by following a few straightforward and simple ideas, the quality of life for Alzheimer's sufferers can be dramatically improved, and their dignity and self-respect renewed. Habilitation capitalizes on the remaining emotions and skills of the patient and offers chances to feel successful by reaching past the recognized losses, ignoring the failures and rejoicing in whatever still defines the essential humanity of the sufferer. Perhaps as importantly, it also suggests ways that the carers can care for themselves. This text provides a practical guide to coping with a cruel disease. It offers information, understanding and advice, but above all it offers a message of hope based on respect, common sense and quiet dignity.

      A must for anyone experiencing the effects of a loved one who has Alzheimer's or any of the signs of other types of dementia - Alzheimer's being just one of the possible types.
