Summary:
"
How
do we approach a '
deeply
forgetful
' loved one so as to notice and affirm their self-identity? Stephen G. Post [the director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony brook University] offers insights on the worth and diginity of
people
with
Alzheimer
's and related disorders despite pervasive 'hypercognitive' values that emphasize the ethically unacceptable idea that human
dignity
requires linear rationality and memory. He argues for a
dignity
grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not 'gone' but 'differently abled.' Post guides readers through: --Understanding the experience of dementia -- Noticing subtle expressions of selfhood, including 'paradoxical lucidity' -- Caregiver perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care -- Communicating effectively -- The value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity; and -- The value of 'dementia companion' dogs." --Back cover.
