Books boeken dasha kiper random house hardcover maart 2023: These moving and often surprising The Wall Street Journal case histories meld science and storytelling to illuminate the complex relationship between the mind of someone with dementia and the mind of the person caring for them. Kiper evinces a capaciousness of sympathy and understanding for Alzheimers patients and especially their caregivers that infuses her portrayals of their struggles with Sacksian humanity.

Scott Stossel The American Scholar After getting a masters degree in clinical psychology Dasha Kiper became the live-in caregiver for a Holocaust survivor with Alzheimers disease. For a year she endured the emotional strain of looking after a person whose condition disrupts the rules of time order and continuity.

Inspired by her own experience and her work counseling caregivers in the subsequent decade Kiper offers an entirely new way to understand the symbiotic relationship between patients and those tending to them. Her book is the first to examine how the workings of the healthy brain prevent us from adapting to and truly understanding the cognitively impaired one.

In these poignant but unsentimental stories of parents and children husbands and wives Kiper explores the existential dilemmas created by this disease. A man believes his wife is an impostor.

A womans imaginary friendships drive a wedge between herself and her devoted husband. Another womans childhood trauma emerges to torment her son.

A mans sudden Catholic piety provokes his wife. Why is taking care of a family member with dementia so difficult.

Why do caregivers succumb to behaviorsarguing blaming insisting taking symptoms personallythey know are counterproductive. Exploring the healthy brains intuitions and proclivities Travelers to Unimaginable Lands reveals the neurological obstacles to caregiving enumerating not only the terrible pressures the disease exerts on our closest relationships but offering solace and perspective as well.
