Abstract

In this chapter, the author will explain how the predominant models for viewing Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia fail to provide an adequate understanding of the changing perceptions of people who live with these conditions and consequently limit our ability to provide effective support. An alternative “experiential” model will be presented and used to reframe several concepts regarding the changing mind. New insights from this model inform an innovative approach to understanding and supporting people whose perceptual mechanisms and communication abilities differ from those of their care partners, and suggest a strength-based framework for enhancing several aspects of well-being, regardless of one's diagnosis or cognitive ability.
