dc.description.abstract |
Part I of this Article explores the neurophysiological effects of
dementia on the interrelated processes of memory, cognition, and
language. The section then explains how the neurological damage
associated with dementia manifests in the daily life of the dementia
sufferer. Part II faces the myth of “the empty shell” head on—
exploring the myth, debunking it, and then explaining the need to
curb the self-fulfilling institutional dynamics of “malignant
positioning.” Finally, Part III directly confronts the impossibility of
creating a legal regime that can acceptably regulate PAS and
dementia. |
