I'm Still Here: A New Philosophy of Alzheimer's Care
- Used Book in Good Condition
A revolutionary new approach to Alzheimerâ€™s care, focusing on a patientâ€™s strengths to maintain connections with others and the world

There currently is no cure for Alzheimerâ€™s diseaseâ€” though it can be treated. For the last fifteen years, John Zeisel, Ph.D. has spearheaded a movement to treat Alzheimerâ€™s non-pharmacologically by focusing on the mindâ€™s strengths.

Iâ€™m Still Here is a guidebook to Dr. Zeiselâ€™s treatment ideas, showing the possibility and benefits of connecting with an Alzheimerâ€™s patient through their abilities that donâ€™t diminish with time, such as understanding music, art, facial expressions, and touch. By harnessing these capacities, and by using other strategies, itâ€™s possible to offer the person a quality life with connection to others and to the world.

In March 2013, Dr. Zeisel and his work will be the focus ofÂ the program airing on public television stationsÂ entitled â€œHopeful Aging,â€ bringing his life-changing ideas to a national audience.
