“…It is often by looking into the past at what they perceived as having importance for the person before the dementia that principles and actions are chosen that guide the actions of family members and give them meaning. This interest for the past, highlighted by other research (Caddell & Clare, 2011; Hennion & Vidal-Naquet, 2015; Kuosa et al., 2015; Phinney et al., 2013; Robertson, 2014), points out the risk of a disparity between values and preferences of the person with dementia and those that family members attribute to him or her (Reamy, Kim, Zarit, & Whitlatch, 2011, 2013; Whitlatch, Piiparinen, & Friss Feinberg, 2009).
