Abstract | Although individual and group art therapy is beneficial for individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD), progression of the disease negatively affects visual processing, which suggests the need to modify art-based interventions. This case study (N = 1) used a psychological well-being scale to compare nonmodified art therapy for an individual with advanced AD and a modified, visually enhanced art therapy intervention for the participant's emotional expression and communication skills. The intervention was tailored to overcome disease-related visuo-perceptual deficits. Findings suggest positive changes in 4 domains of psychological well-being: (a) engagement, (b) expression of pleasure, (c) enhanced self-esteem, and (d) expression of emotions and feelings during AD adapted, visually enhanced art therapy sessions. Further research is needed to support these results. (As Provided). |
