Dramatherapy with Elders and People with Dementia is a groundbreaking book that delves into the transformative power of targeted sessions of dramatherapy in improving the quality of life of elderly individuals living with dementia. Through captivating storytelling, the author takes the reader on a journey into the world of dramatherapy, showcasing the experiences of a group of individuals who possess a remarkable quality known as "feeling intelligence." This unique quality allows them to navigate the challenges of dementia with grace and resilience, finding solace in the vanishing words and clouded memories.
What sets this book apart is its innovative approach to dramatherapy with elders and people with dementia. Rather than viewing these individuals as different or "other," the author paints vivid word pictures to highlight the shared human qualities that these individuals possess, despite their cognitive challenges. Readers are invited to explore the world of arts therapies, particularly creative drama, and witness examples of elder wisdom, wit, and resilience in navigating life's adversities, particularly grief, loss, and profound questions that come with aging.
Enriched with vignettes and anecdotes based on rigorous research and measurement, this book offers valuable insights for arts therapists and other allied health professionals who are interested in employing person-centered, strengths-based approaches in their work with dementia patients. The author's expertise and dedication to the field shine through, making this book a must-read for anyone seeking to enhance the well-being and quality of life of elderly individuals facing the challenges of dementia.
