"Understanding "Senility"" is designed to provide basic information about Alzheimer's disease and to help families who are dealing with a mentally impaired older person. In clear, understandable language, the book dispels myths about "senility", explores the early symptoms and later behaviour patterns of Alzheimer's disease, and describes treatable conditions that are sometimes mistaken for Alzheimer's. Special emphasis is placed on the emotional needs of families. Compassionate suggestions are offered to help families cope with the painful changes they see in their loved one. Understanding "Senility" has been described by reviewers as "perceptive", "informative", "refreshingly well-organised and stated" and containing "a wealth of helpful information" for laypersons struggling to understand a complex and difficult problem.
"The authors give outstanding insight into how mental impairments affect all family members and how those stresses can be alleviated... This book will be invaluable to families as they learn to deal with the realities of severe mental impairments." -- Chattanooga News-Free Press
