More than four million Americans suffer from Alzheimerâ‚¬s, and as many as twenty million have close relatives or friends with the disease. Revolutionizing the way we perceive and live with Alzheimerâ‚¬s, Joanne Koenig Coste offers a practical approach to the emotional well-being of both patients and caregivers that emphasizes relating to patients in their own reality.

-Cope with the diagnosis and adjust to the diseaseâ‚¬s progression
-Help the patient talk about the illness
-Face the issue of driving
