Dementia and civil society - a disputation
Today dementia still is brought up for discussion under the aspect by illness. Therefore we understand the concerned as „a dementia patient “and regard the medical profession and care forces as primarily „responsible “person's group.
The authors point out another perspective: They regard the dementia from a civilian-social point of view. In the center thereby the role of humans with dementia is located as citizens of a community. The book invites to a discussion about „a dementia-friendly “community and gives suggestions for change processes on local level.

Quotations
Quotations of more or less well-known personalities about society/handicap/barrier freedom:
“The less the society barrier-free is, the more money individually for the overcoming by barriers is needed.” (Thorsten Stellmacher, leader Mobidat)
“Not to be handicapped is truely no earning, but a gift, which can be taken to everyone of us at any time. Let us include the handicapped ones and their members in completely natural way into our life. We want to give them the certainty that we belong together.” (Richard von Weizsäcker, German Poltiker, turned Federal President)
“However humans are never only handicapped. Handicap is always a part of humans, a cutout from that variety of humans, a cutout from that variety of its people unity and its possibilities. Therefore humans with handicap are not humans who must be only cared for and protected. There are humans, who have to give something, who can do something, the something contribute in living together humans, also with heaviest handicap.” (from the brochure to the week for the life 1994)
