An increase in average life expectancy has given rise to a number
of pressing health challenges for the 21st century. Age-related
memory loss, whether due to a neurodegenerative condition such as
Alzheimer's disease, or as a product of the normal process of
aging, is perhaps the most significant of the health problems of
old age presently confronting our society. The Preservation of
Memory explores non-invasive, empirically sound strategies that can
be implemented to ensure long-lasting and effective retention of
information. The chapters in this volume describe and evaluate both
well-established and novel methods for improving and strengthening
memory, for people with and without dementia. They also look at
ways in which effective detection and care can be implemented, and
describe empirical findings that can be translated into everyday
practice. The contributors take a multidisciplinary approach,
motivated by the desire to look beyond and across boundaries to
find new areas of knowledge and new opportunities. The Preservation
of Memory will be useful reading for students and researchers
focusing upon memory, aging and dementia, and also for mental
health practitioners, social workers, and carers of persons living
with dementia or other memory impairments.
