Book group: Will I Still Be Me?

[HarrietD]

This month, Dementia Together magazine's book group is focusing on Will I still be me? Finding a continuing sense of self in the lived experience of dementia by Christine Bryden.

You can find the book >here<

Here's a summary of what's inside:

Christine Bryden was diagnosed with dementia in 1995, but her experiences do not reflect the mainstream discourse of loss of self while living with dementia.

In this book, she explains why people with dementia have a meaningful and continuing sense of self and calls for a different understanding of dementia that results in greater inclusion.

Please email any comments to magazine@alzheimers.org.uk

We'd love to hear what you think, and your comments may be included in a future issue

For those without the time to read the book. reboothealth.co.uk has an article taken from the book about coping with someone with a dementia. Dementia-how to help.
