Industry Reviews "Avadian touches on almost every aspect of a caregiver's experience. For readers unfamiliar with Alzheimer's, the book is a good introduction to the patient's inevitable behavioral and physical changes. With an open and frank writing style, Avadian touches on intensely uncomfortable topics like the patient's sexual acting-out and inability to control his bowels, the caregiver's resentment and bouts of self-pity and embarrassment, and the ethical questions that accompany decisions made on behalf of a parent who functions at the level of a child. "Managing a child is one thing. Managing an adult who reasons like a child is another."' Bloomsbury Review (03/01/1998)
