The unfortunate popular perception is that when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia, they are immediately lost to themselves, to those who love them and to those they love. In I'M STILL HERE, John Zeisel shows how you can connect with someone through the fog of dementia and build a relationship with the person within.
This groundbreaking book focuses on connecting with Alzheimer's sufferers through the abilities that don't diminish over the course of the disease, such as understanding music, art, facial expressions and touch.
By harnessing these capacities, and by using other approaches to treatment, this book demonstrates how it is possible to offer sufferers a quality of life with a connection to others and to the world around them.
- 'My wife . . . Iris Murdoch, died of Alzheimer’s after a seven year illness, so I am familiar with the situation so masterfully set out in John Zeisel’s book. It is certainly the best book yet written about the predicament of Alzheimer’s patients and carers' PROFESSOR JOHN BAILEY CBE
- '. . . to anyone living with a loved one who has Alzheimer’s, read this book, reread it, keep it for daily reference. It will change more lives than just yours’ JOHN SUCHET
