The brain-stimulating approach known as Therapeutic Thematic Arts
Programming (TTAP) has a proven record of improving the lives of
people with dementia by increasing their engagement and
functioning. In Transforming Dementia through Therapeutic Thematic
Arts Programming: A New Psychology of Art, the Brain, and Cognition
you now have all the tools and instructions for putting this
innovative and life-affirming approach to work in your own care
setting. You too can successfully enervate the minds and hearts of
people living with this challenging cognitive disease.
Participation in the creative arts has been shown to promote cell
growth that enhances the brain's ability to learn and recall new
information, create new ideas, and make new connections. Using 12
separate forms of creative expression - ranging from sculpture and
painting to physical movement and mental imagery - TTAP builds on
themes in an integrative way that helps each individual with
dementia draw upon memories, feelings, and intellectual reserves
that promote positive self-regard and active social participation.
Sample activity protocols guide you through the process of
engagement to help you quickly master the steps. Activities using
the TTAP method can provide: -significant stimulation and
integration of multiple brain regions -enjoyment, engagement,
creativity, relaxation, and a sense of purpose for people with even
advanced dementia -an easy-to-follow framework that allows infinite
variations on themes and personal interests -complete documentation
for tracking and evaluation -opportunities for one-on-one or group
programming By blending the principles of art and therapeutic
recreation with the latest findings in brain research, Transforming
Dementia through Therapeutic Thematic Arts Programming presents an
exciting new psychological taxonomy that captures the dynamic
interplay between brain functioning and expressive and emotional
stimulation. 2013 National Mature Media Award (Merit Award Winner)
