I have just posted a follow-up to BSP 68 as Books and Ideas 36 <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=_EcxRG9ydvkMfcIIz N_PBg> . I am including the show notes here. I would like to encourage you to subscribe to this podcast so that you won't miss any episodes. As always I welcome your comments and suggestions. Ginger Campbell, MD The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (2008) <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=hd.pEX3bsQtUUEn4J a4QxA> argues that we should re-evaluate our current approach to dementia. Earlier this month I posted an interview with the book's main author, Dr. Peter Whitehouse (BSP 68 <http://docartemis.com/brainsciencepodcast/2010/04/bsp68-whitehouse/?awt_l=C QO.F&awt_m=I_uMBcur39mbyh> ). Episode 36 of my Books and Ideas <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=_EcxRG9ydvkMfcIIz N_PBg> podcast is a follow-up interview with his co-author, Daniel George <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=4gMUWk1hUfgZdyz_K zZOtw> . As a medical anthropologist George helps put current attitudes into an historical perspective. Labeling large numbers of older people with the diagnosis of "Alzheimer's Disease" is a relatively new practice and a closer examination of how this occurred provides an interesting example of how the history of medicine (and science) is interwoven with political and social history. While Whitehouse and George challenge the current approach to dementia, there message is actually one of hope. I am recommending The Myth of Alzheimer's to people of all ages. listen-to-audio-20 <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=wv5FHc0akTx.rbYpi BC0aw> Listen to Episode 36 of Books and Ideas <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=wv5FHc0akTx.rbYpi BC0aw> Episode Transcript (Download PDF <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=QAsD6cOBZy8wBBafi dkBXA> ) References: * Alzheimer's, a Love Story: One Year in My Husband's Journey <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=XEcAaTBOcpLEw3Xnt 7dHRA> by Ann Davidson * Self, Senility, and Alzheimer's Disease in Modern America: A History <http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=I_uMBcur39mbyh&b=d22mq9NJ8LLjvPFEM uvYmw> by Jesse F.
