This dissertation by Sophia Lindeberg explores the diagnostic pathways in dementia, focusing on the experiences of clinical professionals and families involved. It examines cognitive testing and its implications for communication in daily life. The work investigates the perspectives of professionals in memory clinics, general practitioners, and speech-language pathologists, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. It also delves into how individuals with dementia and their families perceive and navigate the diagnostic process, including the emotional and practical challenges they face. The study aims to enhance understanding of communication difficulties in dementia and improve clinical practices. Intended for medical professionals, researchers, and those involved in dementia care, the thesis seeks to contribute to more effective and empathetic care strategies.
