Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-02 00:00:00 Jeff Charles A really great book, which covers treatments as art therapy, dance movement therapy and music therapy. It focuses on the care and treatment of dementia and the effect on the patients, caregivers and staff and how art therapy improve the quality of life of this part of population who has developed sadly any type of dementia and that given the fact that unfortunately these illnesses are increasing, this is a effective and valuable treatment. In my opinion, it's a very interesting approach in the art therapy. Plenty of real examples in the practice with patients, this fact it's extremely rich for the beginner therapist and for the experimented therapist as well. Following the british art therapeutic method, the psychodynamic approach is used to establish the connection and bound that is created with the patient but also in a way to promote their sense of autonomy, self-worthiness, and recalling old memories (not guided). I think this is really a valuable approach specially with this collective, given that the studies suggest a higher lost of cognitive and memory skills with a guided approach, also to find "theirselves" again is a optimal target in therapy, a spot from which part. The Gestalt is quite imprinted in psychodynamic approach thanks to Lacan, but Art Therapy is a maximum exponent for many Gestalt's conceptions like the importance of the "here and now" and how everything is connected. This way to treat the demencies, (Parkinson and Alzheimer basically) it's a rewarding and effective objective over all with this population which the sense of past and future stay so diluted that it can seem a lost of identity and ubiquity. In this book we can see the effectiveness of this experiences in an accurate and well written way by the Professor and Art Therapist Diane Waller. (from Goldsmiths College)
