Synopsis
A revolutionary new approach to Alzheimer's care, focusing on each individual's strengths to maintain connections with others and the world.
There currently is no cure for Alzheimer's disease—though it can be treated. For the last fifteen years, John Zeisel, PhD, has spearheaded a movement to treat Alzheimer's non-pharmacologically by focusing on the mind's strengths.
I'm Still Here is a guidebook to Dr. Zeisel's treatment approach, showing the possibility and benefits of connecting with the person living with Alzheimer's through abilities that don't diminish with time, such as understanding music, art, facial expressions, and touch. Employing strategies that harness these capacities, it's possible to offer each person wellbeing and quality life with connection to others and to their community.
