“…Caregivers were as interested in learning ways to cope with the individual's difficulty doing activities and participating in recreation, as they were in learning ways to address issues related to dressing, grooming, bathing, and toileting. Similarly, 3 of the 8 spousal caregivers interviewed reported that their previously active spouses now did nothing, and this lack of activity concerned them (Sainty, 1993).…”

“…Many caregivers also reported giving up employment (Loos & Bowd, 1997). In her interviews with 8 caregivers, Sainty (1993) noted that two things made it difficult for caregivers to manage their own daily occupations: difficulty leaving the person alone to get things done and assuming the occupations that the spouse previously managed.…”

“…Designed to run over 7 weeks, one afternoon per week for 12 carers, the group was modified in response to feedback.

This review of the literature was conducted as part of the development of a position paper on the way ahead for research, education and practice in occupational therapy in mental health. It included publications over the past decade and concentrated on the British Journal of Occupational Therapy. Recognising experience from other countries would be beneficial, aspects of the literature from the National Journals in American, Canada and Australia which were most relevant to practice in the UK were included. The shortage of articles on mental health was conspicuous and their diverse topics and descriptive nature were notable. In the UK literature, the clinical subjects featured most often were dementia, work rehabilitation, community mental health and forensic psychiatry, with other subjects either appearing infrequently or not being included. The literature from the other countries also explored new roles for occupational therapy, reflecting the changes in the delivery of mental health services.In the American Journal of Occupational Therapy there was concern about the declining number of occupational therapists working in mental health. The review identified major themes in the literature and posed questions for education, research and practice in occupational therapy and formed the foundation for the position paper.

“…This is important, as dementia is associated with a lack of meaningful roles (Sainty, 1993). These groups would provide the opportunity for interaction, while incorporating some RO, VT, and RT techniques.…”

A Review of Reality Orientation (RO), Validation Therapy (VT), and Reminiscence Therapy (RT) with the Alzheimer's Client

This paper provides a review of the literature on three common treatment approaches used with individuals with Alzheimer's disease: reality orientation, validation therapy, and reminiscence therapy. An operational definition is provided for the three modalities, all of which will be evaluated according to their theoretical rationale, intended therapeutic population, cost of training and implementation, effects of intervention on staff, intensity of interven-, tion, and observed behavioural, cognitive, psychosocial, and functional changes as a result of intervention. It was found that reality orientation and validation therapy fail to provide adequate observable changes in clients to support the cost of implementation, and that more research has to be done into reminiscence therapy prior to its wide-spread implementation. It is suggested that occupational therapists can provide activity groups and specific skills training which will elicit the same, or better, outcomes at a diminished cost.
