How We Think about Dementia
Providing a much-needed accessible overview of the complex philosophical and ethical underpinnings of dementia care, this book explores current thinking around the concepts of ageing, personhood, capacity, liberty, best interests and the nature of palliative care, shedding new light on their implications for the caring professions.
How We Think about Dementia
The author aims to clarify thinking about dementia and dementia care in terms of aging, personhood and memory; the legal ideas of capacity and competence; best interests; deprivation of liberty; palliative and supportive care; and art, and make this conceptual clarification accessible to those with dementia and their caregivers.
