As we doctors are beginning to understand more and more about dementia, the public has become increasingly aware of the condition and in turn this has been reflected in the arts. This article discusses four books whose main focus is the experience of dementia, each written from an entirely different perspective: a novel giving a first-person account of dementia by the Dutch writer J. Bernlef; a biography of the famous novelist Iris Murdoch by her husband John Bayley; Linda Grant's account of her mother's multi-infarct dementia (which also describes Jewish migration to the UK two generations ago); and Michael Igniateff's autobiographical novel Scar Tissue. Such accounts, offering insights into how patients and carers feel, cannot but help make us better doctors.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: THE TRAVELS OF Sir John Mandeville, the fourteenth-century "first-person" account of a fictional English knight's adventurous journey to Jerusalem and across the world, is difficult to teach.1 Popular with medieval European audiences, the book troubles today's students with its confusing descriptions of global geography, its treatment of non-Christian, non-European peoples, and its constant conflation of fact and fable. But, as those who have taught it can attest, it can serve as a valuable tool for challenging students' preconceptions of an isolated European Middle Ages. It introduces them to an unreliable narrator and to tensions between the doctrines of the institutional Roman church and individual faith. The author's global perspective shows students a world of diverse religions, ethnicities, races, diets, customs, and sexualities. And the Travels does this while being relatively short and entertaining, pulling the reader through the map via its engaging narrative of landscaped vignettes.

Person Account

The majority of chapters in this book demonstrate clinical aspects of various aspects of old age psychiatry. These accounts tend to focus only on the viewpoints of the healthcare professionals involved in the investigation, diagnosis, and management of the condition. This chapter is different, and provides a first-person account of an anonymous author and his experience of having episodes of depression. The author describes the course of the condition at various times in his life and the various ways in which it has affected him at various stages. This chapter also describes his experiences of treatment and contact with professionals.
