Broadening the dementia debate: Towards social citizenship: Ageing and the Lifecourse Series

Autor Ruth Bartlett, Deborah O'Connor
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2010
Dementia has been widely debated from the perspectives of biomedicine and social psychology. This book broadens the debate to consider the experiences of men and women with dementia from a sociopolitical perspective. It brings to the fore the concept of social citizenship, exploring what it means within the context of dementia and using it to re-examine the issue of rights, status(es), and participation. Most importantly, the book offers fresh and practical insights into how a citizenship framework can be applied in practice. It will be of interest to health and social care professionals, policy makers, academics and researchers and people with dementia and family carers may find it revitalising.

Recenzii

This book offers a fresh perspective on dementia, one that is not afraid to address the challenges, but which asserts not only the continuing personhood and humanity, but also the agency and citizenship of those who live with dementia. Marian Barnes, Professor of Social Policy, University of Brighton

This book is a must read for everyone working in dementia care. Bringing together concepts of citizenship, status, difference, embodiment and personhood, the authors provide a much needed alternative and hopeful lens for examining and understanding dementia. Most importantly, it provides a solid foundation for doing practice and research consistent with a critical, social citizenship approach. Sherry L. Dupuis, Ph.D., Director, Murray Alzheimer Research and Education Program, University of Waterloo

This interesting and well written book is an excellent addition to the growingbody of work published by Policy Press in their ‘Ageing and the Lifecourse’series. Mo Ray in British Journal of Social Work
