The scope of the book is to show people how the frustration that often comes from dealing with dementia into meaningful relationships. The authors compare this approach to moving to another country where one has to learn a whole new language or finding af new channel on the radio by switching the receiver. This is the case with dementia or dement also, except it is not a new language but a new way, a new dimension where caregivers can communicate with those suffering from dementia.
