THE STORY OF DEMENTIA
Book ID/图书代码： 08143019C00003
English Summary/英文概要： So far as we are aware, there has never been a book before with this title or aim. This may be because no-one has been foolhardy enough to attempt one! And it is true that this is a story in mid-flow, even perhaps still near the beginning. But the subject is so complex, and surrounded with so many misconceptions that, even in a truncated form, it needs to be told.
John Killick has chosen a simple but effective format. Each of the nine main chapters focuses on an individual or individuals (twelve in number) who, in his view, have made significant contributions to our knowledge.
The message is one of hope. Although the medical model has yielded little in the way of advances, that is not true of psychosocial initiatives.
This little book tells the hidden story of positive approaches, and those who have devoted their lives to finding alternative creative solutions to one of today’s great challenges. If your life is at all touched by dementia, you should be reading it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 据我们所知，从来没有一本书有这样的标题或目标。这可能是因为没有人敢尝试！的确，这是一个未完的故事，甚至可能还仅仅接近开始。但是这个主题是如此复杂，并且被如此多的误解所包围，以至于即使是以简短的形式出现它也需要被广而告知。
John Killick选择了一种简单而有效的排版。九个主要章节中的每一章都侧重于在他看来对我们的知识作出重大贡献的人（12个）。
这是一则充满希望的信息。尽管医学模式的进步收效甚微，但社会的心理驱动力却不该如此。
这本小书讲述了积极方法背后的故事，以及那些为寻找当今重大挑战的创造性解决方案而献身的人。如果你的生活与痴呆症有着联系，你就应该去阅读它。（YYW）
