| Summary |
"Therapist Abraham shows how art can provide people with Alzheimer's a way to express their thoughts and emotions when they can no longer communicate well verbally and words have lost their meaning. This work includes more than 70 drawings and paintings by people with Alzheimer's, and case histories of the men and women who created the artworks." "Art activities, with a significant therapeutic relationship, can especially increase quality of life for people with Alzheimer's, particularly during the seven-year relatively stable period of the illness. Psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists and health care workers will also find this work especially valuable and insightful."--Jacket. |
