Surviving Dementia Care

""Whenever a family member of someone with an illness puts thought to paper in a sincere desire to help future caregivers, it is like shining a light in the darkness. We can all learn from those who walk the path ahead of us – sparing us some of the confusion and guilt of the learning process."" -- <B>Avis Favaro, Health Journalist, Contributor, CTV National News, and Podcast Host, Canadian Institute for Health Information</B> “Campbell makes a major contribution by taking us beyond his personal experience of caring for parents with dementia by unexpectedly pulling from the world of literature and information management to navigate the overwhelming world of dementia care. His approach never denies the reality of the task but with a clear-eyed perspective validates a caregiver's chaotic experience and brings to it more coherence, validation, and tolerance, ultimately helping anyone deal with dementia with more equanimity.” -- <B>Jonathan Hunter, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Toronto and Pencer Chair in Applied General Psychiatry, Sinai Health System</B> “Surviving Dementia Care offers a real and honest discussion of dementia care – led by someone who has experienced it. The author’s own experience with dementia care builds ethos, and it is a strength of this brave work. Sincere, informed, grounded, and inviting, the experience of reading often feels like a conversation.” -- <B>Tracy Moniz, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, Mount Saint Vincent University</B> “Surviving Dementia Care tackles an extremely important topic area in a novel manner, enabling readers to come to the issues in a new and effective way. We have here a librarian using his specialism to look for order in the chaos that is dementia caring, and it works. It was a genuine pleasure to read, and I learnt a lot.” -- <B>Alison Wray, author of award-winning The Dynamics of Dementia Communication</B>
