Description
x"This book skilfully brings together the threads of ethics and policy that are relevant to dementia and discusses them from a clinically nuanced perspective."
Professor John McMillan, Editor in Chief, Journal of Medical Ethics "This book should be an essential read for all of us who support and navigate the ethical issues relating to people with dementia and their families."
Paul Edwards, Director of Clinical Services, Dementia UK "This book is totally brilliant. The outstanding author Dr. Julian Hughes must now be considered the foremost ethicist of his generation when it comes to caring for individuals with dementia ... This is now the book that everyone who cares about dementia and ethics must read, discuss, and implement. It is a huge contribution."
Stephen G. Post PhD, Director, Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care & Bioethics

The book highlights the importance of understanding the person's narrative, of good communication, high quality care, and expert interpretation of the meaning of situations for people living with dementia. This book:
- Reviews ethical theories and approaches in connection with dementia care
- Considers issues such as such as stigma, quality of life, personhood, and citizenship in relation to dementia
- Looks at issues relevant to research ethics
- Presents case vignettes to highlight a complete spectrum of ethical issues that arise in dementia care
- Is accessibly written for multiple audiences - from people living with dementia to practitioners Dementia and Ethics Reconsidered is a comprehensive account of thought and practice in relation to ethical issues that arise in the context of dementia care, which seeks to show how ethical thinking can be put into practice and prove relevant to day-to-day experience. The Reconsidering Dementia Series is an interdisciplinary series published by Open University Press that covers contemporary issues to challenge and engage readers in thinking deeply about the topic. The dementia fi eld has developed rapidly in its scope and practice over the past ten years and books in this series will unpack not only what this means for the student, academic and practitioner, but also for all those affected by dementia.
