AnnotationThe author, a psychiatric nurse, examines the way in which nursing staff working with people who have been diagnosed as having dementia, communicate with their client group. Her initial interest concerned how nurses can make sense of nonsensical speech. This report is based on taped and transcribed conversations with Jean, one of the ward residents. Full transcripts are included, to enable the reader to judge the author's interpretation, and her ability to communicate with Jean. The general text is a commentary on the issues raised in their conversations. (RH).
