Conveys valuable scientific information on how Alzheimer's and
other dementias affect the brain and how art and creative therapies
are often able to bypass the limitations imposed by those changes
and reach areas of emotion, creativity, and expression. In this
story about the remarkable transformation undergone by Hilgos, a
woman with Alzheimer's, her family, friends, caregivers, and
doctors reflect on the role of art in helping her regain her
self-esteem and connect once again with those she loves. Includes
chapters written by Robert Butler, MD, founder of the National
Institute on Aging, Gene Cohen, PhD, founder of the Center on
Aging, Health and Humanities at George Washington University, and
the individual art students who worked with Hilgos. Filled with
practical information and resources for people with Alzheimer's and
their caregivers. Illustrated with the delightful paintings and
sculptures that Hilgos created before and after developing
Alzheimer's.
