Dignity for deeply forgetful people : how caregivers can meet the challenges of alzheimer's disease

Post, Stephen Garrard 1951- (author.).

Summary: How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their self-identity? Stephen G. Post offers insights on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite pervasive "hypercognitive" values that emphasize the ethically unacceptable idea that human dignity requires linear rationality and memory. He argues for a dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled." -- Adapted from back cover.
