WINNER of the 2021 British Association for Applied Linguistics Book
prize It is well recognized that when people are living with a
dementia, effective communication can be a challenge for both them
and those they interact with. Despite a plethora of good advice, it
can be surprisingly hard to sustain constructive communicative
behaviours and to integrate them successfully into routine daily
care and interaction. The Dynamics of Dementia Communication asks
why that is. What is it about communication, as a human social and
cognitive practice, that makes it so difficult to manage the
disruptions caused by dementia? Why is it so common to feel
awkward, confused or irritated when talking with a person living
with a dementia? Why is the experience of living with a dementia so
personally and socially devastating? What approaches to
communication would work best, and why? To answer these questions,
the book integrates information from a wide range of different
sources, covering the biological, social, and emotional factors
associated with the dementia experience. New concepts and
theoretical perspectives offer novel ways of thinking about the
challenges of communication generally, and in the context of
dementia. Topics explored include whether it is acceptable to
deceive people living with a dementia and why society's failure to
support people living with a dementia and their carers is so
devastating. The final chapter suggests what people living with a
dementia need if communication is to promote and protect everyone's
well-being. By providing a deeper understanding of what topples the
best-intentioned attempts at interaction, and by explaining why
poor communication affects everyone involved, this book sets new
agendas for improving the welfare of people living with a dementia,
their families, and professional carers.
