The Social Experience of Alzheimer’s Disease

Підтримка

A book that’s "in the upper echelons of social dementia research . . . an entertaining and revelatory contribution to the field" (Symbolic Interaction).Alzheimer’s disease has not only profound medical consequences for the individual experiencing it but a life-changing impact on those around them. From the moment a person is suspected to be suffering from Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, the interactions they encounter progressively change. Forgetting Items focuses on that social experience of Alzheimer’s, delineating the ways disease symptoms manifest and are understood through the interactions between patients and the people around them. Mapping out those interactions takes readers through the offices of geriatricians, into patients’ narratives and interviews with caregivers, down the corridors of nursing homes, and into the discourses shaping public policies and media coverage. Revealing the everyday experience of Alzheimer’s helps us better understand the depth of its impact and points us toward more knowledgeable, holistic ways to help treat the disease."Considers the social aspect of dementia by considering how symptoms are expressed by the individual and understood/interpreted by those close to them. The author’s goal is to help us understand common experiences associated with dementia and ways to interpret those experiences through the lens of sociology." -ISCHP (International Society of Critical Health Psychology)
