| Annotation | The authors explore the notion that there is more to CST (Cognitive Stimulation Therapy) groups than the manual, by contrasting two CST groups that they had facilitated in a 6-month period: 'Friends' (moderate to severe dementia) and 'The Hopefuls' (mild dementia). They look at different applications of CST theory in practice, the adaptability of the manual, and the importance of supervision in the process of running the groups. They discuss the qualitative and quantitative effects of being in the group, and look at CST in the broader context of group work with people with dementia. This article is written from a first-person perspective: an assistant psychologist together with a co-facilitator, either a trainee clinical psychologist of a support worker. (RH). |
