sur les personnes âgées souffrant d'un déficit cognitif lié tout simplement au vieillissement cérébral a changé. Et avec lui, le diagnostic de la maladie d'Alzheimer, qui s'est considérablement étendu. Poser l'étiquette Alzheimer sur une personne ne fait qu'exprimer l'horreur qu'inspire le vieillissement à une société qui se croit éternellement jeune. Et à en exclure ainsi une partie de la population, nous dit Alain Jean, médecin généraliste et gériatre hospitalier, dans ce livre dérangeant et bouleversant. En nous faisant partager avec une profonde empathie ce que ressentent des personnes très âgées pour qui présent et passé se mêlent, deviennent de plus en plus flous, il aborde un débat plus que d'actualité : à force de vouloir maîtriser à tout prix la vieillesse et la mort, n'est-ce pas la médecine qui perd la raison ?

je voudrais, comme Patrick, que sa disparition soit un signal d'alarme. J'aimerais que ce livre, écrit dans l'urgence de la douleur, soit un cri vers tous ceux et celles, adolescents ou préadolescents, qui seraient tentés par la terrible impasse du suicide. La souffrance qui se lit dans ces pages, à travers les lettres reçues, est celle, indicible, de Solenn et de milliers d'autres. C'est celle aussi des parents qui assistent, impuissants, à la destruction de leur enfant. Si cette souffrance qui a été la nôtre peut aider tous ceux qui ont été ou vont être confrontés à l'anorexie ou à la boulimie, alors Solenn ne sera pas morte pour rien.By Nicholas P Wolterstorff. 1987
