Validation therapy: talking with elderly dementia patients without conflict
AI 3-line summary
- The column introduces 'validation therapy', an approach that does not correct elderly people with dementia when their statements differ from the facts, but first acknowledges the feelings beneath them.
- Columnist Kim Mi-hee explained that this conversational attitude, which has been used in care settings, can also be learned and tried by family members.
- It is not a medical treatment and does not work the same for every elderly person, so she urged caregivers to also look after their own state of mind.
