| Annotation | In the last ten years, there has been a growing interest in developing means of providing emotional support not just to carers, but also to those with dementia. Perhaps the best known of these approaches has been that of Naomi Fell, whose Validation Theory (1990, 1992 and 1993) has been influential in the US, and more recently in the UK. This article cites examples of the use of story-telling in group work, whereby group members rely on their memories as ways of establishing identity and of making sense of their lives. (RH). |
