Use poetry and the arts to encourage and facilitate communication with people with dementia in a fun and unique way! Dementia Arts guides readers in incorporating poetry, music, and other arts into activity programming to increase interaction and encourage amusement and joy in dementia care. Author Gary Glazner, founder of the Alzheimer's Poetry Project and Institute for Dementia Education and Arts (IDEA), demonstrates how anyone--not just poets or artists--can incorporate creative verbal expression into activities of daily living (as well as day-to-day activities) in an effortless, economical, and enjoyable way. Using simple techniques that build on poetry as a communication tool, you can achieve positive outcomes with people in all stages of dementia, as well as those with challenging behavior. A fun and engaging read, Dementia Arts is perfect for professional and family caregivers, and truly provides the "recipe" for communication success through poetry and art.

The physical care of people with dementia is of vital importance, but so too is their emotional, social, mental and spiritual wellbeing. The creative arts are gaining increasing recognition not only as a tool for delivering effective person-centred dementia care, but also for attending to soul as well as body. Encouraging those who care for people with dementia to develop their own creative skills, this book provides a creative map of care with easy-to-follow examples and detailed case studies. After explaining why adopting a creative approach is central to effective dementia care, the authors go on to discuss meditation, singing, movement and storytelling, describing the therapeutic benefits of each and giving practical examples of how they can be used with individuals or groups. They also look at the importance of creative supervision in promoting creativity and creating a safe space for honest interpersonal connection: an essential foundation for effective teamwork. This book will be an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the care of a person with dementia, including professional staff in residential and nursing homes, hospitals and day centres, families and other non-professional carers.

Nobody wants to lose their thinking ability and precious memories. However, for a large number of us, increasing life expectancy can mean exactly that. Fortunately, there is one thing that seems to be able to increase the capacity of the brain and make it remain healthy for longer. That thing is Art. You can fight memory loss with art and you can protect your future. Art and art related pastimes have been shown to cause the human mind to react in a number of unique ways. Drawing and painting may seem to just be pleasant things to do as a hobby, but in the background they really make your brain work hard. They can be used as a form of brain exercise, a bit like the way you exercise the rest of your body doing sports or in the gym. Believe it or not, doing art in the right way can make your brain grow and get better connected inside. Getting a bigger and better brain seems to be the key to protecting yourself against ending up with such things as dementia and Alzheimer's. This book explains how you can use a range of art related activities to stimulate your brain, make it grow in size, increase the number of nerve cells and improve the nerve connections between the different parts of the brain. All of this can help reduce your chances of ending up with dementia type illnesses later in life. This book covers the sorts of activities you need to do, the best time to start out in the arts, and the ways you can maximize the protection for later in life. Evidence for the effectiveness of art is provided in the form of the results of a number of scientific studies that have been done into the arts and the workings of the brain and memory. Medicine and science promised us a long and happy life, and to a certain extent that has been achieved. People are living longer than they ever have, which is great. Unfortunately maintaining our health as we get older gets more and more difficult. Being healthy in old age is by far the main key to the happiness side of things. The one thing that none of us want to go wrong is the brain. This is because without clear thinking and a reasonable memory we can't actually enjoy anything. In fact life can become a living hell in some cases. For this reason 'Dementia' and 'Alzheimer's' have become two of the most frightening words of the modern age. Dementia robs us of our memories and eventually the ability to do even the most basic of things such as walking and talking. People become a mere shell just waiting for the ultimate end. Don't let this happen to you. Prevention is best. Remember: there is no cure for Alzheimer's and dementia. Protect yourself by using the power of the arts. Read this book and choose an art stimulation for yourself that will keep your brain working well for many years to come.

Providing people with dementia with opportunities to engage in creative activity can play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing communication, and in reinforcing personhood and identity. This thoughtful book describes how people with dementia, and the people who work with and care for them, can foster and develop a creative approach, and provides rich and varied ideas for creative activities. The authors explore the concept of creativity - what exactly it is, its particular relevance for people with dementia and how to get into the creative 'flow'. They introduce a range of creative art forms, including poetry and story-telling, collage, drama, music-making, photography, textiles and working with wood and metal, and suggest possibilities for employing them in a range of settings, and with people of all abilities. Consideration is given to the practicalities of facilitating such creative work, including how to organise and run sessions, how to involve people with dementia and their carers, and how to reflect upon the experience. Practice examples are included throughout the book, as well as the comments and observations of people with dementia, and many examples of the artwork and poetry the authors have created with people with dementia over the years. Brimming with ideas, suggestions and helpful guidance, this is an essential resource for all those who work with people with dementia, and an inspiring read for people with dementia and their families.

Art Therapy and Creative Aging offers an integrated perspective on engaging with older people through the arts. Drawing from the author’s clinical, research and teaching experiences, the book explores how arts engagement can intertwine with and support healthy aging. This book combines analysis of current development theory, existing research on creative programs with elders, and case examples of therapeutic experience to critically examine ageism and demonstrate how art therapy and creative aging approaches can harness our knowledge of the cognitive and emotional development of older adults. Chapters cover consideration of generational, cultural, and historical factors; the creative, cognitive and emotional developmental components of aging; arts and art therapy techniques and methods with older adults with differing needs; and examples of best practices. Creative arts therapists, creative aging professionals, and students who seek foundational concepts and ideas for arts practice with older people will find this book instrumental in developing effective ways of using the arts to promote health and well-being and inspire engagement with this often-underserved population.
