Sažetak
Since recently we started to use mental maps in psychoeducation, for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), cognitive training for people with dementia (PWD), problem solving situations and making treatment or caring plan. These mental maps provide a schematic display of important and useful information about AD through connected words, sentences, symbolic icons or drawings. Such valuable graphic technique improves learning and coping strategies for formal and non- formal caregivers of PWD in understanding their needs. Furthermore, we recommend the personalized approach to PWD individualized and orientated to needs of each person him/herself according to the stage of his/her disease, his/her activities, interests, life important events, BPDS problems.
