Dementia in Close-Up - gebrauchtes Buch

Bere Miesen strives to give a much deeper understanding of the world of the dementia sufferer by describing and explaining the complex and varied relationships between the sufferer, their family and carers. The dependency and fear that dementia causes necessitates a sustained closeness, which in turn can engender conflict. Difficult issues of caring such as power, adoption, sexuality and aggression are discussed. Going beyond the purely medical descriptions of dementia, Miesen examines the behavior and responses of sufferers and their carers, giving families and professional carers the means to form caring and rewarding relationships to help everyone involved.
