2009:
• Oliphant, Shakespeare in the Head for Health: A Reality Orientation Option for Alzheimer's Worriers (book)
[Robert Oliphant's "Shakespeare in the Head for Health" (282 pp.) offers Alzheimer's worriers scientifically authoritative help with its three most visible symptoms: going blank on names, groping for words, and loss of concentration (e.g., "what were we just talking about?"). Its authority stems directly from the self-testing Reality Orientation system developed by VA hospitals for use with WWII veterans, much of which is described in the author's "A Piano for Mrs. Cimino" (Reader's Digest USA, Canada, and Australia), whose multi-lingual movie version (same title), starring Bette Davis, is still being shown worldwide. . . . At a time when pharmaceutical remedies are feared and mistrusted and when, according to the Harris Poll, over 50% of us now worry more about Alzheimer's than about stroke, heart attacks, or diabetes, "Shakespeare in the Head for Health" represents an alternative — and a challenge — that deserves to be taken seriously by every American over fifty.]
