Looks at the establishment of a mutual support group for people who have been given a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease or one of the related dementias, who have insight into their memory loss and confusion and are able to express their feelings with regard to this. Reviews the experience of a support group in New Zealand, which concludes that a mutual support group for people with insight into the early stages of dementia is worthwhile and one response to their needs.
