| Annotation | This special issue of Dementia brings together three perspectives related to dementia care, religion and spirituality: the diagnosed, the family caregiver, and the clinician. It is notable that a common message is found in all three perspectives. Specifically, issues of religion and spirituality must not be ignored in the dementia experience. Spirituality and religion are significant resources - across a wide spectrum of faith perspectives - for coping with a diagnosis of dementia. This editorial introduces the articles, four of which were originally presented at a symposium entitled "Spirituality and dementia: the search for meaning and loss" at the 54th annual scientific meeting of the Gerontological Society of America held in Chicago in November 2001.
