Psychologist and professor, Richard Taylor, was diagnosed with dementia,
probably of the Alzheimer’s type, when he was 58 years old. Now 66, he speaks to
audiences, nationally and internationally, about living with the disease and
understanding it from the other side. “Here’s what it’s like to have AD,” he
explains. “Here’s how people treat me” and “here’s how you should treat
me.” Listen to Richard as he speaks from his heart, urging professionals
and caregivers alike to recognize that “There is a person in there.”
What we like best about this product: This is a rare and remarkable documentation of Dr.
Taylor's presentation to aging services professionals, urging them to
embrace the culture change philosophy of person-centered care. Standing
ovations are the norm, as well as new enlightenment for even the most
experienced professionals. (DVD Duration: 51 minutes)
