We are increasingly aware of the economic and emotional cost of
dementia, but its spiritual dimension is often overlooked. Between
Remembering and Forgetting brings together contributions from
distinguished and experienced practitioners in the front line of
dementia research and care to reflect on this, and to explore the
implications for Churches and other faith groups, as well as for
individual carers. A practical focus offers not only a critique of
areas for future research and development in the field of dementia,
but also directs the reader to further resources. The Editor was for
ten years Director of The Leveson Centre, which brings together for
study, reflection and the exchange of ideas and information those who
believe that older people should not be considered passive recipients
of care, but as valued and cherished members of society who can inform
and enrich the lives of others. In particular the Centre is developing
an understanding of spirituality as lived by older people, and aims to
support them to express their spiritual awareness.
