- This 137 page book for the Palgrave pivot series characterises, through a multi-layered process of creative investigation, the field of dementia studies. Weaving together individual and collective experiences from Cheston’s long career in research and professional practice and exploring in depth a philosophy for living with dementia, it offers critical insight into a growing field where existential issues and emotional regulation have rarely been explicitly addressed. Explaining how dementia acts as an existential threat to people diagnosed with the condition, to their carers and communities, the book opens up new possibilities for social practice and social policy.
