Reading in the moment : activities and stories to share with adults with dementia
Vize, Anne2014
Book
Studies have shown that reading in a melodic and rhythmic voice can produce positive changes in mood, emotion and behaviour in those with dementia. This technique known as bibliotherapy is used in this book and has been tailored to help those who grew up during the 1930s through to the 1960s, as well providing for people of all cultures.The book is designed to be used by people who have some experience in working with clients who have dementia, but who do not have specific training in bibliotherapy. They may be running a group session, working in a library or caring for a family member at home. There is a need for 'reading in the moment' sharing a story, a piece of prose, a biography for the simple pleasure of sharing a moment in time together.
