Papers by experts in geriatrics, gerontology, psychology, law, and bioethics look at the challenges posed by Alzheimer's and related dementias to clinicians, professional and lay caregivers, hospice workers, and policy advocates. Topics include quality of life, personal perspectives on the disease, helping patients and caregivers adapt, and medical advances. The volume includes a chapter on Alzheimer's resources in the US but lacks a subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
