Alzheimer's: The Person Within: a new pathway to joyful and fulfilling interaction with the memory impaired - Paperback

Statistics show that there are over four million, mostly elderly men and women, in the USA alone who are afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. But that may well be the tip of the iceberg. The swelling number of care facilities indicates that many times that number are victims of other equally debilitating forms of dementia.

Significantly, each of these persons has family members who are deeply affected because they must grope through the often distressing, disruptive mysteries of the dementia process to find ways to communicate with and understand the loved one.

Alzheimer's: The Person Within, is a deliberately concise and easy to read manual which is dedicated to the reality that a diagnosis of dementia does not mean that life is over for the afflicted. It is packed with information to teach caring family members ways to have more joyful and fulfilling interaction with their afflicted mom, dad, spouse, brother, sister, or friend. Within its pages anyone can learn effective methods to enhance the quality of a loved one's life and at the same time rid themselves of the stress of not knowing what to do.
