Bøger af Keith Oliver

The aim of the book is to extend understanding and knowledge of the lived experience of dementia through analysis of current research and in-depth conversations about dementia with a range of people living with the condition in the UK. It draws upon previous work on the "the experience of dementia" in the book Dementia Reconsidered - Revisited, 2nd edition, alongside an exploration of key concepts of Tom Kitwood's original text. A key aim and unique feature of the book is to give a voice to people with dementia and to link this with issues in dementia care, frameworks, policy and practice.

Keith Oliver was diagnosed with young onset dementia in 2010, and has since become a leading activist for dementia care, and an international speaker. Telling his story through a diary format, this book gives an unparalleled insight into what day-to-day life with dementia is like, and how he continued to live a full life after diagnosis.
