520    News of Alzheimer's disease is constantly in the 
       headlines. Every day we hear heart-wrenching stories of 
       people caring for a loved one who has become a shell of 
       their former self, of projections about rising incidence 
       rates, and of cures that are just around the corner. 
       However, we don't see or hear from the people who actually
       have the disease. In Living with Alzheimer's, Renée L. 
       Beard argues that the exclusively negative portrayals of 
       Alzheimer's are grossly inaccurate. To understand what 
       life with memory loss is really like, Beard draws on 
       intensive observations of nearly 100 seniors undergoing 
       cognitive evaluation, as well as post-diagnosis interviews
       with individuals experiencing late-in-life forgetfulness. 
       Since we all forget sometimes, seniors with an Alzheimer's
       diagnosis ultimately need to be socialized into 
       medicalized interpretations of their forgetfulness. In 
       daily life, people with the disease are forced to manage 
       stigma and the presumption of incompetence on top of the 
       actual symptoms of their ailment. The well-meaning public,
       and not their dementia, becomes the major barrier to a 
       happy life for those affected. Beard also examines how 
       these perceptions affect treatment for Alzheimer's. 
       Interviews with clinicians and staff from the Alzheimer's 
       Association reveal that despite the best of intentions, 
       pejorative framings of life with dementia fuel both 
       clinical practice and advocacy efforts. These 
       professionals perpetuate narratives about "self-loss," 
       "impending cures," and the economic and emotional "burden"
       to families and society even if they do not personally 
       believe them. Yet, Beard also concludes that in spite of 
       these trends, most of the diagnosed individuals in her 
       study achieve a graceful balance between accepting the 
       medical label and resisting the social stigma that 
       accompanies it. In stark contrast to the messages we 
       receive, this book provides an unprecedented view into the
       ways that people with early Alzheimer's actively and 
       deliberately navigate their lives.
