| Annotation | Offering practical advice for arts therapists and health care professionals, this book emphasises the importance of putting the individual before the illness to provide holistic, person-centred support for people with dementia. Contributors show how music, dance and the visual arts can be used alongside person-centred care to promote improved memory, reduced anxiety, increased self-esteem, better communication, and successful group interaction. They use case studies to demonstrate ways in which therapists can encourage engagement of those with dementia with sound, touch, movement and visual forms. (RH). |
