Abstract
This case study describes a person with mild-to-moderate stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) and examines the relationship between malignant positioning and the ability of a person with AD to gain the cooperation of healthy persons to construct a valued social identity. Findings reveal that malignant positioning limited the person with AD to the embarrassing social identity of dysfunctional patient; whereas, the absence of such positioning allowed the subject to gain the cooperation from others necessary to construct a valued social identity, as well as reduce embarrassment and experience greater sense of self-worth. Preliminary recommendations on reducing malignant positioning are provided. Further research is required to elucidate the degree to which the present findings may be generalized.
