Alzheimer's Disease, Grieving Process, and Art Therapy: Case Study
Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, v40 n1 p40-45 2023
This case study describes an art therapy intervention with a client diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease who was coping with grief. The course of fifteen sessions included three phases: body awareness, grief emotions, and grief acceptance. The positive changes parallel ways that art therapy can benefit older adults by promoting communication, accessing memories, reconstructing identity, and supporting creativity.
