Because many will live a considerable time at home with their diagnosis, we need to know more about the ways people can adapt to and learn to live with dementia in their everyday lives. Lars-Christer Hyd駭 argues in this book that to do so will involve re-imagining what dementia really is and what it can mean to the afflicted and their loved ones. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of the most important everyday opportunities for sharing experiences is the simple act of storytelling. But when someone close to you gradually loses the ability to tell stories and cherish the shared history you have together, this is seen as a threat to the relationship, to the feeling of belonging together, and to the identity of the person diagnosed. Therefore, learning about how people with dementia can participate in storytelling along with their families and friends helps to sustain those relationships and identities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u003cem\u003e Entangled Narratives\u003c\/em\u003e, Hyd駭 not only emphasizes the possibilities that are inherent in collaborative storytelling, but instructs professionals and otherwise healthy relatives to learn how to effectively listen and, ultimately, re-imagine their patients and loved ones as collaborative meaning-makers in their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars-Christer Hyd駭\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199391572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199391578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Lars-Christer Hyd駭","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054712877311,"sku":"9780199391578","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_26893737-b4be-40cc-8cee-fcfa1d611365.jpg?v=1685031554","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/entangled-narratives-lars-christer-hydn-9780199391578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
