| Annotation | The authors aim to illustrate a tangible theoretical framework for understanding and supporting the endurance of and within dementia. First, they outline the role of containment in the development and maintenance of the self, before considering how a dementia can represent a threat to a premorbid sense of self. They reflect on common barriers to containment and selfness ideologically constructed by services, including the potentially damaging use of expert language and neuropsychiatric shorthand. A practical application of psychodynamic concepts in terms of scaffolding a sense of self for clients with dementia within NHS dementia services is explored. (RH). |
