Description

Dementia Reimagined: A New Approach to Care and Dignity. Tia Powell's personal experience with dementia has shaped her perspective on this complex and often stigmatised condition. As a leading psychiatrist and bioethicist, she now urges us to shift our focus from finding a cure to providing care that prioritises the well-being of those affected. This book explores the history and cultural context of dementia, from the early 20th-century research of Solomon Fuller to the current state of funding for Alzheimer's disease. By demystifying dementia, Dr Powell helps us understand it with clearer eyes, from both a medical and caregiving perspective. Ultimately, she argues that dementia is not just about loss, but also about preserving dignity and hope. By reimagining our approach to dementia, we can work towards creating a more compassionate and supportive environment for those living with the condition.
