The best medicine may be getting people to improvise, stay positive, and share their stories. How? Use techniques from the theater. Basting, a MacArthur fellow, holder of a PhD, and a professor of theater at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, convincingly argues that creative care can be the most meaningful treatment for people with dementia, their loved ones, and their caregivers. Why not use the power of the arts to focus on strengths that remain and to bring more meaning to life? Basting divides her book into three parts: finding creative care, defining creative care, and changing care. Her helpful notes for caregivers include beautiful questions that reveal and exercise remaining strengths. For example, during a quiet moment looking out a window together, a question might be, If the tree could talk, what might it say? She also recommends cultivating moments of awe, which can include looking at, drawing, or writing about a sunset and the feelings it summons. Basting crafts a memorable message about the importance of emotional connections for people with dementia, and everyone else, too.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
