The Other Within Oneself
In this article, I use the concept of the dividual to analyze the dynamics at stake in a family caring for a member with early-onset dementia.

Approaching fami…

This article builds on theoretical work …

Moreover, such a paradox reinforces the idea that living with a chronic illness or disability is a devastat…
