The unfortunate popular perception is that when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they are immediately lost to themselves, to those who love them & to those they love. In I'm Still Here, John Zeisel shows how you can connect with someone through the fog of dementia & build a relationship with the person within. This groundbreaking book focuses on connecting with Alzheimer's sufferers through the abilities that don't diminish over the course of the disease, such as understanding music, art, facial expressions & touch. By harnessing these capacities, & by using other approaches to treatment, this book demonstrates how it is possible to offer sufferers a quality of life with a connection to others & to the world around them.
