Dementia Regained, Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End
by Tia Powell, MD, Director of the Montefiore Einstein Center for Bioethics

 “Dementia Reimagined” succeeds on many levels—it is informative and insightful, historically illuminating, scientifically accurate, socially savvy and so well written. The result is utterly engaging.” —Ira Brock, MD, author of The Four Things That Matter Most and Dying Well

“With candor and humor, Tia Powell examines all aspects of dementia: its history, treatment, and, most importantly, how to care for people as they struggle to maintain dignity and autonomy. I recommend this book to anyone with a family or friend with dementia.” —Laurie G. Jacobs MD, president, American Geriatrics Society, and Chair of Medicine at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine at Seton Hall University

“Essential reading for anyone who cares for or about a person with dementia: treats a person with dementia, or is concerned about their own risk of dementia. Powell skillfully traces the sometimes surprising, often tragic, history of this disease and explains the current state of science and medicine and how they interact with advocacy and public policy. This book gives us a vision for what a meaningful life with dementia can look like.” —Carol Levine, director, Families and Health Care Project, United Hospital Fund, and author of Navigating Your Later Years for Dummies

“For all of us baby boomers and our children joking about senior moments, it turns out that a lot of people living with dementia are actually having a hell of a good time. Read this book. Accepting what is and making the best of it requires a little planning, but the payoff in joy in the moment is huge.” —Diane E. Meir, MD, director, Center to Advance Palliative Care
