“Rather, a person with dementia experiences loss of autonomy and personhood as a consequence of the relational behaviour of significant others (Sabat & Harre, 1992). For example, within an institution, the adapted self of a person with a dual disability can be either resident or inmate in custody. The role depends on the environment and its amenability to support existing roles or create opportunity for new ones (Sabat & Harre, 1992).” | “relational behaviour of others > loss of autonomy and personhood” | “behaviour of others leads to loss of autonomy of plwd” | “stigma and autonomy” |
