Art therapy can particularly benefit dementia patients as it engages individuals with all their senses. Through seeing, touching, smelling, and handling, memories of childhood, friends, and professions are evoked. Skills thought to be lost resurface. This not only strengthens thinking and orientation but also boosts self-esteem. The author compiles important research findings on the causes and development of impairments in dementia. Based on this, he develops themes and methods that effectively engage dementia patients. Together, they create visual worlds that can draw confused individuals out of their illness-related isolation. The book is suitable for art therapists, special and remedial educators, geriatric caregivers, and all other professional groups working in the field of inpatient and outpatient elderly care.
