Musik - Demenz - Begegnung, mit DVD-ROM

People with dementia need music more than others. In this book, four experienced music therapists explain the neurological, biographical, and psychodynamic backgrounds of working with people with dementia. What does music mean for cognitively altered individuals in nursing homes? How can their ability to connect be assessed to derive appropriate therapeutic support? How does a therapeutic setting foster an encounter on equal footing? Many case studies and an accompanying DVD provide insights into the work and illuminate the diversity of connections between music, dementia, and therapy. Surprising, creative, and humorous aspects of working with people with dementia come into focus. This is the 2nd fully revised edition of the 2010 publication, featuring new case studies.
