| Annotation | Simulated Presence Therapy (SPT) is a relatively new intervention, which has been reported to reduce levels of anxiety and challenging behaviour amongst people with dementia. The intervention consists of playing a tape of the carer's voice to a person with dementia over a personal stereo. This UK study provides details of the effectiveness of SPT with four in-patients on an assessment ward. The four showed differing levels of response to the SPT tapes, which may be related to their differing attachment styles. (KJ/RH). |
