The aim of the book is to extend understanding and knowledge of the lived experience of dementia through analysis of current research and in-depth conversations about dementia with a range of people living with the condition in the UK. It draws upon previous work on the "the experience of dementia" in the book Dementia Reconsidered - Revisited, 2nd edition, alongside an exploration of key concepts of Tom Kitwood's original text. A key aim and unique feature of the book is to give a voice to people with dementia and to link this with issues in dementia care, frameworks, policy and practice.
