Unique in its approach, not only to dramatherapy with elders and people with dementia, it presents an essential validation of older people's life stage development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than being different or 'other', Jaaniste paints word pictures to show human qualities such people have in common with their dementia-free contemporaries. Readers will glean insights into the arts therapies, especially creative drama, meeting examples of elder wisdom, wit and resilience in dealing with life, but especially grief, loss, and deep questions that come with ageing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnriched with vignettes and anecdotes based on rigorous research and measurement, the book will be suitable for adaptation by arts therapists and other allied health professionals who are interested in using person-centred, strengths-based approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoanna Jaaniste, PhD, has 30 years' experience as a dramatherapist.
