The best book I have ever read that explores the effect on the brain of the carer, when someone has dementia.
Professor June Andrews, author of Dementia: The One-Stop Guide, was twenty-five when she first became the live-in carer for a Holocaust survivor with Alzheimer's disease. She soon discovered the emotional strain and challenges of caring for a person whose condition disrupts the rules of time, order, and continuity.
In Travellers to Unimaginable Lands, Kiper explores the complex and profound psychology of caregiving, illuminating how the healthy brain's biases and intuitions make caring for people with dementia disorders so profoundly and inherently difficult.
Blending neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and literature with beautifully-observed case studies, Kiper illuminates the underlying mental mechanisms behind carers' experiences, dispels the myth of the perfect caregiver, and, in the process, opens the door to understanding and forgiveness.
