Klangbrücken: Musiktherapie in Der Häuslichen Versorgung Von Menschen Mit Demenz - Ein Leitfaden Für Die PRAXIS

Music therapy is now recognised as an effective method of supporting people with dementia. The disease gradually changes the perceptions and social relationships of those affected, who are often cared for at home by their next of kin for a long time. In this situation, outpatient, outreach music therapy can be helpful. The book offers a guide for the development of specific music therapy programmes in this area. It is primarily aimed at music therapists, but also addresses geriatric nurses and members of other related professions. The information provided is also of interest to family carers. At the centre of the book is the presentation of outpatient music therapy and a group event for relatives. Against the background of current research results, concrete assistance is provided for getting started and illustrated with numerous practical case vignettes.
