| Summary: | The goal of this collection of interdisciplinary essays by internationally established scholars is to see beyond the loss in dementia to the transformation and change, often in collaboration with others, of both personhood and identity. The collection identifies a number of new empirical, theoretical, and methodological areas that will be central to both research on and clinical practice concerned with age-related dementia in the coming years. Three general themes are identified as being of particular importance and interest: persons and personhood, identity and agency, and the social and the communal. |
