This is a book by Dr. Cameron J. Camp, internationally-recognized scholar, author and trainer. As the Baby Boom generation ages, growing numbers of people are impacted by dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Writing with wit and compassion, Dr. Camp aims to help this audience better understand how the disease affects memory, and how memory loss may affect behavior. Going against conventional “wisdom,” the author stresses that the key to successfully caring for persons with dementia is to focus on their strengths rather than their weaknesses – to see the person and not a disease. His entertaining and insightful book examines cases based on real individuals to illustrate common challenging behaviors and how to approach these challenges. Readers are given tools and resources to understand why persons with dementia do what they do, to help them solve their own “cases,” and, more importantly, they are given a more hopeful way of thinking about Alzheimer’s disease and those who live with it.
