Praise for this book
"Bitenc's text immerses readers in a retelling of the care and social justice issues surrounding dementia, thereby introducing them to medical humanities. She advocates that the corpus of autobiographical dementia narratives be expanded through the inclusion of pertinent novels, films, documentaries, and storytellings. Bitenc's working definition of dementia addresses the Alzheimer's scenario."
Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals. General readers
