DVD: I Remember Better When I Paint: Treating Alzheimer’s Through Creative Therapies
$42.00
This is an essential film describing the initiatives that get people with Alzheimer’s involved in art and creative workshops and about how they are producing remarkably positive results. This film shows how dozens of day care centers, nursing homes and assisted-living facilities are using drawing, painting and museum visits as effective therapies, making it possible to improve the quality of life and restore a dialogue between caregivers and families. Scientists have discovered that the parts of the brain related to emotions and creativity are largely spared by the disease. Today, experts recognize the benefits of these new approaches that dramatically change the way we look at the disease. This is a must-see for Alzheimer’s caregivers and those who know someone or have a family member with the disease. This DVD delivers the message that there is hope and that Alzheimer’s can be controlled non-pharmacologically.
Featuring interviews with leading Alzheimer’s specialists, with neurologists, gerontologists, art therapists, occupational therapists, and directors of specialized care facilities
