Traditionally, dementia has been defined primarily in terms of
loss: loss of cognitive and communicative competencies, loss of
identity, loss of personal relationships. People living with
dementia have been portrayed as increasingly dependent on others,
with their loved ones seen more as care givers than as spouses,
children and relatives. However, in the last two decades this view
of the person living with dementia as an 'empty vessel' has been
increasingly challenged, and the focus has shifted from one of care
to one of helping people to live with dementia. With contributions
from an international range of expert authors, Living with Dementia
strongly advocates this new perspective through in-depth discussion
of what people with dementia and their loved ones can do, and how
they can actively make use of remaining resources. Topics covered
include: - How to involve people with dementia in collaborative
activities in the home, and the benefits this has on their
cognitive and communicative abilities. - Ways in which identity can
be presented and preserved through storytelling, and the impact on
identity of moving from home into residential care. - The benefits
of a 'citizenship' approach to dementia: of recognising that a
person living with dementia is an active agent, with the right to
self-determination and the ability to exert power over their own
lives. This important new contribution to the dementia debate is
truly enlightening reading for students across the full range of
health and social care disciplines, and offers a fresh perspective
to existing practitioners and those who care for people with
dementia.
