Dr. Jason Karlawish is joined by Dr. Barbara Grosz at the Penn Memory Center's book launch event celebrating and discussing “The Problem of Alzheimer's” by Dr. Karlawish.

Dr. Karlawish explores the difference between the physical brain, able to be seen and measured, and the extension of self known as the mind in persons living with dementia. 

At the National Academies Family Caregiving Workshop, Dr. Jason Karlawish talks about caregivers as the “extended mind” of the person they are caring for.
