Chapter 8: When Words Fail
In this chapter, ways of coping when the other person either won’t or can’t speak are suggested. The importance of keeping in mind the relevance of any interaction, or how minimal the content is, it should be born in mind. Advice and guidance is always given through the author’s experience with her own mother who had Alzheimer’s.
Dr Jane Crisp has retired recently as a lecturer in communication, media studies and women’s studies at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia. She now holds an honorary position there as Adjunct Senior Lecturer. When Jane’s mother, who lived in New Zealand, was diagnosed with dementia Jane found her professional studies of great help in her efforts to keep in touch. Since 1990 Jane has been studying the language of people who are dementing and working out strategies for making sense of the way they speak. She has given talks on this work, and had articles published, both in Australia and overseas. |
