Validation Techniques for Dementia Care: The Family Guide for Improving Communication

Progressive, degenerative neurological diseases affect the way people process information, often making it difficult for them to realize what is real and what is not. In the past accepted strategies were based on Orientation Therapy - correcting the individual and helping them realize what is true and what is not. More recent therapies and communication strategies focus on validating their thoughts, rather than arguing or dragging them back into "our" reality. The concept has come to be known as Validation Therapy.

Written especially for family members and friends of persons with dementia, this practical handbook offers information to improve communication with older adults and implement Validation strategies, emphasizing empathetic verbal and nonverbal communication. Case studies demonstrate how the approach can relieve common problems, such as confusion about the current year, an inability to recognize caregivers, repetitive questions, and more. Author: Vicki de Klerk-Rubin (116 pp)

 

What we like best about this book:

The book is written for both the professional and family caregiver, focusing not only on verbal communication, but also non-verbal signals and communication which become so important in successfully interacting and communicating with persons in the middle and later stages of dementia.
