A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 'The best book I have ever read that
explores the effect on the brain of the carer, when someone has
dementia' Professor June Andrews, author of Dementia: The One-Stop
Guide Dasha Kiper was twenty-five when she first became the live-in
carer for a Holocaust survivor with Alzheimer's disease. She soon
discovered the emotional strain and challenges of caring for a
person whose condition disrupts the rules of time, order and
continuity. In Travellers to Unimaginable Lands, Kiper explores the
complex and profound psychology of caregiving, illuminating how the
healthy brain's biases and intuitions make caring for people with
dementia disorders so profoundly and inherently difficult. Blending
neuroscience, psychology, philosophy and literature with
beautifully-observed case studies, Kiper illuminates the underlying
mental mechanisms behind carers' experiences, dispels the myth of
the perfect caregiver and, in the process, opens the door to
understanding and forgiveness.
