Art therapy for people with dementia - case report
Here we describe the person with Alzheimer's disease (AD) of moderate stage - Mr. Zvonko. Although he was treated with antidementia drugs, the behavioural disturbances were present. After his individual and family status were evaluated, he was advised to attend the daily care centre and to start with art therapy. Despite the fact that he was never drawing before developing AD, everyone who knew him, including his wife who was his caregiver, was surprised with his talent and creativity. While drawing the pictures Mr. Zvonko was calm and satisfied - his behavior both at the daily centre and at home became much more adequate, and there was no need to add drugs for behavioral disturbances. We concluded that in this case the art therapy was an excellent add-on non-pharmacological intervention, which largely improved patient's behavioral disturbances.
