Researchers in different disciplines think of Alzheimer's disease in differing and sometimes conflicting ways. The essays in this volume show that conceptualizing demetia has always been a complex process and look at the ways in which Alzheimer's has been defined in various historical and cultural contexts. The book covers the major developments in the field, from the first case described by Alois Alzheimer in 1907 through the most recent work on the genetics of the disease. Essays examine not only the prominent role that biomedical and clinical researchers have played in defining Alzheimer's disease, but the ways in which the perspectives of patients, their caregivers and the broader public have shaped concepts as well.
