Feedback on "PRESERVING THE ETCHINGS OF THE MIND" by Jaime A.B. Wilson

The book provides a clear explanation of dementia. It makes a valuable point that dementia is not a normal part of aging, which is a common misconception. This distinction is crucial for raising awareness and reducing the stigma around dementia.

The prevalence and the age of onset are helpful in understanding the scope of the problem.

The risk factors associated with dementia are invaluable.

Useful illustrations enhance the comprehension of the concepts presented.

I appreciate the detailed referencing in the book.

I would recommend this book.

I just finished Dr Wilson’s excellent treatise on dementias and was impressed to say the least. As a non-mental health practitioner, my first impression was the readability and accessibility to the layperson. I loved the wonderful metaphor in the title. I was engaged from the start, and as an aging adult with deaf family members I anxiously read the descriptions of signs and symptoms with myself and family in mind.

I was so impressed with the simultaneous accessibility of the material and the scientific rigor of evidence-based conclusions. What a comfort and confidence builder to be armed with knowledge that we’re not helpless as we move through the mental health challenges we all face. If only I had read this book 40 years ago!

So far, its good book. Brings attention to deaf community which is not known by majority of society.

A lot of good and useful information in this book! The topics discussed may prove useful to many people and give them insight they may not have otherwise been able to find anywhere else.

Dr. Wilson talks about the link between hearing loss and memory loss. This is the only book of it's kind in America. Everyone shoukd read this book and learn how to fight memory loss and protect the brain for a better future.

Preserving the Etchings of the Mind written by Dr. Wilson is an important contribution to the field of psychology, neuropsychology and disabilities studies. it elucidates hearing loss and its effects on the brain with thoughtfulness and precision. It captures those who are doing advocacy work on behalf of people with neurological difficulties, and working in the related fields.

This book is written in a well-researched manner, drawing the professional audience who would like to glean more information about the topics, It is poignantly drawing the audience of people who experience hearing loss and other cognitive processing difficulties as well as their families and caregivers. It is written compassionately,, yet offering much needed technical support.

I would highly recommend this book to professionals working in the field of psychology, neuropsychology, and psychiatry. I also deem this book very suitable for families, those who are caregivers or conducting related research. This book is well-suited for educators who may want to include the text in their curricula.

A well done contribution by Dr. Jaime A.G. Wilson!
Great effort with a captivating title that contains the essence of the content of this written work!
