Birgit Schuhmacher analyzes typical exclusion risks faced by people with dementia and demonstrates how the universally applicable claim to inclusion, from both a human rights and a systems theory perspective, can be implemented for them. The author examines the significance of the terms inclusion, integration, and participation across different disciplines. In relation to dementia, exclusion and inclusion are discussed in the context of advanced age, within families, in social environments, from a legal standpoint, and at the end of life.
