Because many will live a considerable time at home with their diagnosis, we need to know more about the ways people can adapt to and learn to live with dementia in their everyday lives. Lars-Christer Hydén argues in this book that to do so will involve re-imagining what dementia really is and what it can mean to the afflicted and their loved ones.One of the most important everyday opportunities for sharing experiences is the simple act of storytelling. But when someone close to you gradually loses the ability to tell stories and cherish the shared history you have together, this is seen as a threat to the relationship, to the feeling of belonging together, and to the identity of the person diagnosed. Therefore, learning about how people with dementia can participate in storytelling along with their families and friends helps to sustain those relationships and identities.In Entangled Narratives, Hydén not only emphasizes the possibilities that are inherent in collaborative storytelling, but instructs professionals and otherwise healthy relatives to learn how to effectively listen and, ultimately, re-imagine their patients and loved ones as collaborative meaning-makers in their lives.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 157mmItem Length: 236mmItem Width: 23mmAuthor: Lars-Christer HydenGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Medicine, Social SciencesBook Series: Explorations in Narrative PsychologyItem Weight: 458gRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
