distinguished.A As Dean of Westminster Abbey he is often at the

posts and widely acclaimed books have also established him as one

Set in 1945 during the hundred days that elapsed between victory in
Europe and victory in Japan, Touched follows the fortunes of a
group of women in a working-class suburb of Nottingham. First
staged at Nottingham Playhouse in 1977 by the then Artistic
Director, Richard Eyre, Touched was so successful it transferred to
the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1981 in a new production by
William Gaskill. Both productions were praised to the skies, and
the play's reputation is still high. It has been out of print for
many years. This new edition is published 25 years after its
premiere at the Court and coincides with a performance there as
part of the theatre's 50th-Anniversary celebrations.

Dementia is an illness that raises important questions about our
own attitudes to illness and aging. It also raises very important
issues beyond the bounds of dementia to do with how we think of
ourselves as people--fundamental questions about personal identity.
Is the person with dementia the same person he or she was before?
Is the individual with dementia a person at all? In a striking way,
dementia seems to threaten the very existence of the self.
This book brings together philosophers and practitioners to
explore the conceptual issues that arise in connection with this
increasingly common illness. Drawing on a variety of philosophers
such as Descartes, Lock, Hume, Wittgenstein, the authors explore
the nature of personal identity in dementia. They also show how the
lives and selfhood of people with dementia can be enhanced by
attention to their psychological and spiritual environment.
Throughout, the book conveys a strong ethical message, arguing in
favor of treating people with dementia with all the dignity they
deserve as human beings. The book covers a range of topics,
stretching from talk of basic biology to talk of a spiritual
understanding of people with dementia. Accessibly written by
leading figures in psychiatry and philosophy, the book presents a
unique and long overdue examination of an illness that features in
so many of our lives.
