Languages : fr
Pages : 136
Book Description
Comment peut-on dire "Alzheimer mon frère" alors que cette maladie neuro-dégénérative fait si peur ? Faut-il s'inquiéter dès les premiers troubles de mémoire ? Qui sommes-nous quand nous n'avons plus de souvenirs ? Comment vivre personnellement cette maladie qui touche le sens profond de l'existence ? Comment réagir face à l'angoisse, l'agitation et l'agressivité de mon conjoint, de mon ami, de mon frère ? Au-delà des apparences, la personne atteinte d'Alzheimer reste un être sensible capable de partager les états affectifs des personnes vivant avec elle. Mais pour cela elle a besoin de l'empathie de l'aidant, cette capacité à se mettre à la place d'autrui. Grâce à la découverte majeure des neurones miroirs (aussi appelés neurones empathiques), nous savons que le malade va réagir par mimétisme. Poussons donc les portes de la relation, même quand elles sont fermées depuis trop longtemps. La réciprocité pourra donner sens à la vie de l'un et de l'autre, et rendre heureux celui qui reçoit comme celui qui donne.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
Mon père, dans un lit d'Hôpital, quelques mois avant de mourir, ici en France, m'a raconté sa traversée de la frontière entre le Portugal et l'Espagne. Son émigration clandestine vers la France. A partir de cette petite histoire très émouvante, et en m'appuyant sur des éléments historiques et autobiographiques, j'ai voulu écrire notre épopée familiale, décrire la vie à Freixo de Numão, un petit village du nord du Portugal, dans les années 60 avant que mon père ne parte "a salto", son arrivée dans l'un des plus grands bidonvilles portugais de France, celui du Franc-Moisin à Saint-Denis, l'émigration clandestine de sa femme et de ses enfants, et les trois années pendant lesquelles nous avons habité ces baraques d'infortune. A travers ce récit, j'ai voulu refaire une nouvelle fois cette traversée clandestine des deux frontières qui a bouleversé le destin de centaines de milliers de personnes, ce voyage sans fin qui m'obsède depuis l'enfance, entre le rêve et la réalité, entre le Portugal et la France.

The Choice
Author: Edith Eva Eger
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501130811
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller “I’ll be forever changed by Dr. Eger’s story…The Choice is a reminder of what courage looks like in the worst of times and that we all have the ability to pay attention to what we’ve lost, or to pay attention to what we still have.”—Oprah “Dr. Eger’s life reveals our capacity to transcend even the greatest of horrors and to use that suffering for the benefit of others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well.” —Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate “Dr. Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero. She survived unspeakable horrors and brutality; but rather than let her painful past destroy her, she chose to transform it into a powerful gift—one she uses to help others heal.” —Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and Christopher Award At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were killed, Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele, forced Edie to dance for his amusement and her survival. Edie was pulled from a pile of corpses when the American troops liberated the camps in 1945. Edie spent decades struggling with flashbacks and survivor’s guilt, determined to stay silent and hide from the past. Thirty-five years after the war ended, she returned to Auschwitz and was finally able to fully heal and forgive the one person she’d been unable to forgive—herself. Edie weaves her remarkable personal journey with the moving stories of those she has helped heal. She explores how we can be imprisoned in our own minds and shows us how to find the key to freedom. The Choice is a life-changing book that will provide hope and comfort to generations of readers.

No Aging in India
Author: Lawrence Cohen
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520925328
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
From the opening sequence, in which mid-nineteenth-century Indian fishermen hear the possibility of redemption in an old woman's madness, No Aging in India captures the reader with its interplay of story and analysis. Drawing on more than a decade of ethnographic work, Lawrence Cohen links a detailed investigation of mind and body in old age in four neighborhoods of the Indian city of Varanasi (Banaras) with events and processes around India and around the world. This compelling exploration of senility—encompassing not only the aging body but also larger cultural anxieties—combines insights from medical anthropology, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial studies. Bridging literary genres as well as geographic spaces, Cohen responds to what he sees as the impoverishment of both North American and Indian gerontologies—the one mired in ambivalence toward demented old bodies, the other insistent on a dubious morality tale of modern families breaking up and abandoning their elderly. He shifts our attention irresistibly toward how old age comes to matter in the constitution of societies and their narratives of identity and history.
