Forgetting God? Religious Perspectives on Dementia
Dr Peter Kevern, School of Health and Social Care, University of Staffordshire
The shared experience of dementia presents a number of challenges to religious communities and to health providers. The purpose of this seminar is to explore these challenges by an examination of research in three interrelated areas: the mobilisation of religious resources to support people with dementia in the community; the meaning of ‘spiritual care’ for people with late-stage dementia; and the ways in which our experience of dementia reframes our constructions of religious meaning.
