Dementia is a crisis of time, a crisis of identity, and a historical crisis. It symptomatically reveals that in our interpersonal encounters, the breath of eternity is deprived of air. Silke Kirch draws from a wealth of experience in art therapy with dementia patients while also reflecting on recent findings from scientific research. An insightful book that, despite the seemingly grim topic, cleverly and charmingly interprets the loss of memory from a broad perspective. A true philosophy of forgetting!.
