The very name Alzheimer is sure to bring a shudder. Thirty to
forty million people are now afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, a
degenerative brain disorder that strips its victims of their
identity and leaves families bereft and social services strained.
Despite considerable research, the underlying causes of Alzheimer's
disease remain shrouded in mystery. So, too, does the man after
whom it was named. Alois Alzheimer (1864--1915) was practicing
medicine at the Frankfurt Asylum in 1901 when he met a patient, who
would become known as "Auguste D.," whose condition perplexed and
intrigued him. "Alzheimer" is more than a biography; it is a story
of scientific discovery at a crucial stage in the history of
medical psychiatry.
