In 2006, Daniel Gibbs, author of A Tattoo on my Brain: A Neurologist's Personal Battle against Alzheimer's Disease (soon to be a documentary produced by MTV.Paramount+), first noticed symptoms which he now knows to have been early signs of his Alzheimer's Disease. Daniel still writes every day, something he credits with keeping his mind sharper and his demons at bay. This book is a personal collection of essays written over the past two years that describe his own personal experiences, first treating patients with Alzheimer's, and now living with the disease himself. The book presents an up-to-date discussion of recent advances and setbacks in Alzheimer's research. Humane and hopeful, this book offers evidence-based information on how it may be possible even now to slow progression of the disease.

Ledelse i demensomsorgen kræver engagement og stor viden om livet med demens og de vanskeligheder, der følger for personen og de nærmeste. Flere borgere med demens har samtidige somatiske og psykiske lidelser, og det medfører en række sociale tab, i takt med at sygdommen skrider frem. Det stiller store følelsesmæssige og faglige krav til de medarbejdere, som skal udføre kerneopgaven, og der er derfor behov for tæt støtte og vejledning fra lederen. På samme tid er demensomsorgen svært udfordret af rekrutteringsvanskeligheder i forhold til både antal medarbejdere og tilstrækkelige faglige kompetencer, lavstatusimage, en hårdt presset økonomi og søjleopdelte samarbejdsflader. Ledelsen har ansvar for kvalitet og udvikling af kerneopgaven, mens de komplicerede forhold, den skal foregå under, er bagtæppet. Det arbejde indeholder flere gordiske knuder, hvor også den administrative drift fylder stadig mere. Ledelse i demensomsorgen - Refleksioner over ledelse af kerneopgaven gennemgår hele forløbet, fra der er lavet nationale strategier, retningslinjer og anbefalinger, til de udmønter sig i regionale og kommunale styringsdokumenter, og til de oversættes til faglige løsninger og valg af tilgange og metoder i den behandling og omsorg, der ydes for borgere med demens. Bogen inviterer gennem aktuelle cases til refleksion over håndteringer af vanskelige problemstillinger i praksis. Ledelse i demensomsorgen - Refleksioner over ledelse af kerneopgaven giver indblik i, hvordan lederen skal balancere mellem på den ene side at kunne påvirke og skabe retning, løsninger og værdi og på den anden side at kunne imødekomme krav og forventninger fra politikere, forvaltning, faglige organisationer, civilsamfund, tilsyn og pårørende. I det spændingsfelt skal lederen sammen med medarbejdere skabe et udviklende arbejds- og læringsmiljø, hvor medarbejderne kan sikre et trygt og værdigt liv for personer med demens.

The Marilyn Chronicles was written for one single person, the love of my life. She, this woman whom I married sixty-three years ago, is now suffering from late-stage dementia, and I am her care giver. In an effort to better understand the disease and what it is doing to my wife, I have researched, documented and built in advice to anyone who might become involved in the preservation of dignity and passion which remains in the mind of the person afflicted with the disease. The portrayal of the inevitable march toward finality is a literary approach done as a tender tribute to a remarkable woman, and its message serves as a beacon to those who want to understand and care for the person afflicted with the insidious disease called dementia. This book is my love story.
