Eileen Shamy

A Guide to the Spiritual Dimension of Care for People with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia

This is a book for those actively engaged in or interested in spiritual ministry to persons with dementia. Shamy draws heavily upon her experience, making this book very personal in its approach. I appreciated this style, feeling that the anecdotes anchor the book in the realm of what can be done rather than the theoretical world of the «maybes». The main concepts of the book, those of spirituality, retained through dementia, and personal worth should be acceptable to people of most world...

Studio Art Therapy

Catherine Hyland Moon

Studio Art Therapy

Arguing that the profession of art therapy has its roots in the studio environment, Catherine Moon proposes that it is now time to reclaim these roots, and make art once again central to art therapy. She suggests that there has been a tendency for art therapy not merely to interact with and be enriched by other perspectives – psychological, social, anthropological and transpersonal – but to be subsumed by them. For this reason she makes a clear distinction between using art in one's...

The experiences and needs of residents and patients in nursing and care homes are very different at night, and this is particularly true for those with dementia.

Language Function

Language Function

Literacy teaching tends to take a structural approach to language, focusing on auditory products or skills such as sounds, morphemes, words, sentences, and vocabulary. However, new research suggests that the majority of English speakers actually think and learn in visual concepts, and that there is a cultural and linguistic mismatch between auditory teaching methods and the way students think and learn. This has important implications for all educators including those who work with students with...
