dc.description	By way of bona fides: As with many Americans, my own extended family has over the years given me plenty of direct contact with senile dementia, the general label for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, a longish stay in a VA hospital (I’m a WWII vet) brought me into contact with the “reality orientation” anti-Alzheimer’s program developed some years back by Dr. Joseph Folsom, Dr. Arthur Cherkin, and others. On the basis of this experience I subsequently wrote a fictionalized case study about reality orientation that was published as A Piano for Mrs. Cimino (Prentice Hall and Reader’s Digest), and whose multi-language film version starring Bette Davis still gets shown worldwide.
