About the Book

The unfortunate popular perception is that when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia, they are immediately lost to themselves, to those who love them and to those they love. In I'M STILL HERE, John Zeisel shows how you can connect with someone through the fog of dementia and build a relationship with the person within. This groundbreaking book focuses on connecting with Alzheimer's sufferers through the abilities that don't diminish over the course of the disease, such as understanding music, art, facial expressions and touch. By harnessing these capacities, and by using other approaches to treatment, this book demonstrates how it is possible to offer sufferers a quality of life with a connection to others and to the world around them.

About the Author :
John Zeisel is president of Hearthstone Alzheimer Care and founder of the Hearthstone Way, an innovative and practical approach to the care of dementia sufferers. He developed the Artists for Alzheimer's program (ARTZ), which develops cultural experiences for Alzheimer's sufferers. He has a PhD in sociology from Columbia and has taught at Yale, Harvard and McGill.

Review :
A book that will give great hope and encouragement to anyone dealing with Alzheimer's sufferers either in a professional situation or at home... An optimistic book, it shows there is another way and that medication is not the only approach. One to watch. - THE BOOKSELLER John Zeisel's insights into Alzheimer's are not the narrow observations of a physician peddling a theory; they are observations and research into an intensely humane cry for understanding and represent nothing less than a radical revisiting of what it is - 'This important new book makes the case for a positive mindset about dementia; providing us with new concepts such as 'hard-wired' abilities and new meanings of words like "treatment". It is a valuable addition to materials available for relatives and friends of people with dementia. - Mary Marshall OBE, author and Director of the Dementia Services Centre, University of Stirling m Still Here is a startling, uncompromising, and deeply compassionate look at how we care for people living with Alzheimer's. It overflows with insight, practical advice, inspiration and hope - DAVID HYDE PIERCE, actor and Alzheimer's advocate
