【 摘 要 】

This paper explores the multiple dimensions of the disease dementia. It is also an exploration of how art therapy is useful and beneficial in treating the psychological and psychosocial needs of people living with one form of dementia or another. Case studies from practicum internship experience will be provided to further demonstrate the effects that the creative process has on people who are living with varying degrees of dementia.
