| Annotation | Shows that the application of the social model of disability to living with dementia results in some important insights and observations, and throws light on the way that disablism overlaps with ageism in society. The authors draw attention to the necessity of uncovering the theoretical perspectives that help to explain the social barriers that the social model of disability highlights in the lives of people with dementia, which in turn has directed the focus toward useful concepts such as intersectionality and psycho-emotional disablism. They set out approaches to dementia that are at odds with conventional thinking in official and medical circles. This paper is a contribution to the JRF programme Dementia Without Walls. (NH/RH). |
