Dementia has been widely debated from the perspectives of biomedicine and social psychology. This book broadens the debate to consider the experiences of men and women with dementia from a socio-political perspective. It brings to the fore the concept of social citizenship, exploring what it means within the context of dementia and using it to re-examine the issue of rights, status(es), and participation. The book fills a gap in the global market for an up-to-date, coherent, and authoritative account on the present day situation of people with dementia. It offers fresh and practical insights into how a citizenship framework can be applied in practice, and it analyzes biographical accounts of living with dementia from a life course perspective.

A brilliant, high concept, intensely gripping thriller perfect for fans of GIRL A, THE CAPTIVE will keep you guessing till the very end . . . 'Part thriller, part dark, unpredictable love story.
