The maieutic method, described as the 'art of midwifery' and developed by Socrates, involves skillful questioning to bring forth the dormant yet unrecognized correct answers and insights within a partner. Similar to a treasure hunter, Dutch dementia expert Cora van der Kooij seeks to uncover the wealth of experience lying within caregivers and to utilize their potential and professionalism for experience-oriented care of elderly and chronically ill individuals. She explains how caregivers can provide maieutic and experience-oriented care by empathizing with the person they are caring for and connecting with them. At the same time, she demonstrates how caregivers can consciously and reflectively manage professional relationships. She outlines three core concepts of a professional attitude in caregiving: contact, creativity.
