NEW 2009 EDITION ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDED RESOURCE An Alzheimer's Surprise Party investigates the widely held belief that dementia is only a mindless pathology. Instead the authors discover an essential soulful spiritual process that can be facilitated right from Alzheimer's onset. This book provides pioneering and innovative research on the Alzheimer's pandemic and serves as an intimate intense compelling beacon shining light on the disease's potential for deeper meaning and spiritual healing. I strongly recommend this as an original method of understanding and dealing with people in Alzheimer's and other dementias. DR. ARNOLD MINDELL PhD founder of Process Oriented Psychology This book is revolutionary in providing hope and meaning for patients relatives friends caregivers and professionals in the management of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
