The Social Construction of Dementia: Confused Professionals? Colin Palfrey
The Social Construction of Dementia: Confused Professionals?
Colin Palfrey
In this study the social construction of dementia is examined closely for the first time. Nancy Harding and Colin Palfrey show how Western society sees dementia as a disease, rather than a natural part of the ageing process. They take issue with the constructed view of the body as a machine, whose parts 'break down' and need replacement.
