Unique among these offerings, At Wit s End explains the psychiatric and psychological aspects of Alzheimer s, and does so in a holistic and practical manner. Dr. Kraus focuses on the whole person across his or her full social, psychological, physical, and spiritual life to provide as complete a picture as possible of the changes that are in play.
