This book is the first personal account of Alzheimer’s told from the perspective of a cognitive psychologist, Dr Rick Gardner, Emeritus Professor of Psychology in the University of Colorado, Denver, who discusses how Alzheimer’s affected his wife. The author’s research background provides insights into what was taking place in his wife’s brain throughout the progression of the disease. In this unique book, he shares those insights with the reader in a way that is both scientifically informative, sensitive, and moving. Journey Through Alzheimer’s addresses what is currently known about Alzheimer’s and discusses what is known about causes of the disease, describing physiological changes that occur in the brain during dementia. It also discusses preventative measures that can be taken to avoid the disease, and techniques that one can use to help diagnose the presence of dementia in themselves or in others. The book will be helpful as a textbook for researchers and students in Alzheimer’s and in Clinical Psychology, and as a guide for individuals who are dealing with the disease in a spouse or family member; and for physicians, counsellors, and people themselves in the early stages of dementia, giving them insights into what may lie ahead.
