Revelation and/or Inspiration,
This review is from: A Guide to the Spiritual Dimension of Care for People with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia: More than Body, Brain and Breath (Paperback)
A friend had read this book and found it revelationary. It assisted her greatly in understanding the concepts and capturing the very real spiritual nature of people with any degree of dementia and need of this to be nurtured by well informed listeners, as it would be by people in the wider community. By the time I bought the book, I was lucky to have read quite widely and been taught both by academic and experiential learning styles. Shamy still provides inspiration and I loved reading every chapter. It affirms and validates the people we come into contact with - no hints of ageism - and provides a baseline for good practice and the benefits that can emanate from this.
