3. Fragile identities, patched-up worlds : Dementia and meaning-making in social interaction
Sammanfattning : Denna avhandling fokuserar på det meningsskapande och begripliggörande som fortgår vid tilltagande demenssjukdom, i det sociala samspelet, och de utmaningar för demens-omsorgen som detta innebär.
