Dementia Reimagined
Book • 2019
Dementia Reimagined is a moving combination of medicine and memoir that explores the untold history of dementia while arguing for a fundamental shift in how society approaches the disease.
Drawing on her experience as both a physician and bioethicist, as well as her personal journey with dementia in her family, Tia Powell examines the history, treatment, and care of dementia.
The book traces the disease's history from Solomon Fuller, a Black doctor whose early twentieth-century research anticipated modern understanding of dementia, to contemporary challenges in funding and care.
Powell's goal is to move the conversation away from an exclusive focus on finding a cure toward building meaningful, joyful lives for those living with dementia while preserving their dignity and autonomy.
