Abstract / summary in English:

This Companion contributes to an integral approach of dementia. It does not close its eyes to the horrors of the disease, but rather provides new perspectives to meet the process of withdrawing of the mind with courage and confidence. Wouter Endel MD, Amsterdam

An inspiring book for the reader who searches for more than one way of looking at dementia, with an approach to dementia from a developmental perspective. The special attention to spiritual issues at the end of life is meritorious. The book combines the practice of working with the demented individual with theoretical concepts. Tom van der Meulen, director Ideon,dementia professionals

A special book which describes that despite brain damage, development opportunities continue to exist in dementia. Mrs. S. de Ruiter, family member
