Today
the recommended treatment plan for persons living with Alzheimer’s disease
includes a simultaneous use of a pharmacological approach along with a
non-pharmacological approach for the primary purpose of slowing down the
disease.
The practice of art as a communication tool is a non-pharmacological
approach and this book looks specifically at the use of art as a quality
activity for the purpose of mental stimulation, communication and
validation.
In the
book this author submits that art is an ideal modality for mental
stimulation and communication with Alzheimer’s and related dementia
patients as well as the frail elderly. Many activities can be mentally
stimulating, including music therapy and pet therapy. However, art has the
unique quality in that it creates a tangible product, the artwork which can
assist caregivers and family members in understanding what is going on in
the mind of the individual today.
