Overview

Veteran hospital social worker Ellen P Young, who saw both her mother and aunt struggle with Alzheimer's, says that though hard to find, humour is often the best medicine. Similar to ""The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat"" by Oliver Sacks, ""Between Two Worlds"" is the first book to explore, through personal accounts and vignettes, the rare moments of humour that unexpectedly pop up during the caregiving of people suffering from Alzheimer's and related dementia. Young brings the courageous experiences of care providers and relatives to life as they encounter the challenges of dealing with these seriously afflicted patients. At the same time, she reveals the touching and gently humorous moments that go a long way to ease the tension and pain.
