Beschreibung
Dementia: mind, meaning, and the person brings together philosophers and psychiatrists to explore the conceptual issues raised by this increasingly common illness. Drawing on a variety of philosophers, the authors explore the nature of personal identity in dementia. They show how the lives and selfhood of people with dementia can be enhanced by attention to their psychosocial and spritual environment. Accessibly written by leading figures in psychiatry andphilosophy, the book presents a unique and long overdue examination of an illness that features in so many of our lives.
