Overview

This text explores the world of the dementia sufferer by describing and explaining the complex and varied relationships between the sufferer, their family and carers. The dependency and fear that dementia causes necessitates a sustained closeness, which in turn can engender conflict. Going beyond the purely medical descriptions of dementia, the author examines the behaviour and responses of sufferers and their carers. He seeks to promote a deeper understanding of the world of the dementia sufferer, giving families and carers the means to form caring and rewarding relationships to help everyone involved.
