V/F Validation: The Feil Method, How to Help Disoriented Old-Old

My mom was in a skilled nursing facility, and recently passed away. Prior to that happening this book was loaned to me by one of the staff. I was so impressed I bought my own copy from Amazon, and have since loaned it to my niece. It describes certain types of elderly patients who are dealing with unresolved issues from their early childhood, and the various stages they might be in. Then describes methods of dealing with them. By the time I came upon this book it was too late to do very much; but I urge any of you working with an elderly person possibly suffering from some form of dementia to have a look at this book. It is well written, easy to understand and fascinating and may prove helpful. ( Amazon customer)
