Expressive Arts with Elders
Naida Wiesberg
This engaging and practical book shows how older people who are disoriented or depressed or socially excluded by the process of aging can experience a renewed sense of connectedness and life-affirmation through the expressive arts and arts therapies. The contributors combine a thought-provoking analysis of theoretical considerations around the themes of ageing, society and dementia with practical applications in a diverse range of creative arts including drama, music, art, dance and creative writing. They also include descriptions of innovative inter-generational and cross-cultural projects. Professionals working with older people in a range of settings including residential homes, community centres and psychiatric care will find this book to be an indispensable guide to their practice.
