People with Dementia Speak Out

by Lucy Whitman (Editor) - £14.99  Jessica Kingsley Publishers (2015)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781849052702 | ISBN 10: 1849052700

In People with Dementia Speak Out, twenty-three people from diverse backgrounds share their experiences of living with dementia.
 
The contributors are honest about the frustrations and fears they face, but overall there is remarkably little self-pity and a great deal of optimism. The personal accounts demonstrate that with the right support at the right time, and above all with opportunities to continue to contribute to society in a meaningful way, it is possible to live well with dementia. These fascinating stories bring to life the characters behind the collective term 'people with dementia', and show that each person with dementia is a unique individual with their own personality, history, beliefs, cultural affinities and sense of humour, and their own way of adapting to the disabilities and opportunities which this condition confers.
 
This unique collection of personal testimonies will be reassuring and encouraging for those coming to terms with a diagnosis of dementia, for their families and carers, and is essential reading for health and social care professionals at all levels.
