Abstract

The book 'Dementia and Learning: The Use of Tablet Computers in Joint Activities' by Elias Ingebrand explores the potential for novel learning in individuals living with dementia, with a particular focus on the use of tablet computers. The author challenges the negative presumptions about people with dementia being incapable of learning, showcasing how, over time, dementia patients can familiarize themselves with new technology and participate in joint activities. The book emphasizes the importance of social interaction and collaborative efforts in facilitating learning in dementia patients, highlighting how caregivers and peers can provide effective support. The research findings underscore the potential for dementia patients to actively engage, contribute, and learn in their everyday lives.

Abstract

"'Patient poets: Illness from inside out' invites readers to consider what caregivers and medical professionals may learn from poetry by patients. It offers reflections on poetry as a particularly apt vehicle for articulating the often isolating experiences of pain, fatigue, changed life rhythms, altered self-understanding, embarrassment, resistance, and acceptance. The chapters discuss poems that represent a particular dimension of the experience of illness or disability -- foreboding, isolation, fear, shame, wry humor, acceptance, deepening self-knowledge." -- Back cover.
