| Annotation | Interest in doll therapy is growing, but it remains controversial. The author describes how she introduced doll therapy to a dementia assessment ward in Edinburgh. The Bradford Dementia Group Wellbeing Profiling Tool (2002) was used to assess the reactions of patients before and during the therapy sessions. While there were some negative attitudes, particularly when the doll was used with male patients, the research showed that doll therapy improved dementia patients' well-being. (RH). |
