Dementia: The Way In. The Way Out.

Revised Edition (2025)

“I notice that I am already inside something I did not choose. There was no moment of arrival.”

We are often taught to see dementia only as a loss—an erasure of the person we knew. But what if we look at the experience from the inside? In Dementia: The Way In. The Way Out., Simon Robinson reframes the condition not as a clinical failure, but as a profound shift in the texture of reality—a “thickening” of time and a loosening of the self.

This is not a medical textbook. It is a companion for the disorientation, the fear, and the quiet moments that follow. Drawing on personal experience and deep empathy, it maps the terrain where the familiar world softens, offering a path through the bewilderment toward a new kind of presence.

Inside the Book
