5.0 out of 5 stars Change your whole approach--for the better. Facinating!, 30 Mar 1997
By A Customer
More and more relevant as we care for aging parents. With a title like this one might think: "Boring" Absolutely not so! Right from the start, the stories of the people are so real and so touching that one of my friends said she was moved to tears. She was so sad not to have known about this way of relating to her father. "It works," she told me. "Validation Breakthrough" shows a new way of relating to people with dementia of Alzheimer's type. This approach is effective in helping the person to clear up unresolved issues in their lives. You do not have to be a professionally trained therapist to use validation. Validation will make the relationship more rewarding for both people. It is not hard to learn and makes wonderful sense. Some readers may want to ask new questions of care facilities (like nursing homes) as the validation approach will keep loved ones from slipping into a vegetative state. It will also make the care much kinder, and more rewarding for the care givers.

3.0 out of 5 stars for the reader who needs to know but feels let down, 17 Sep 2006
By P. T. Smith (Oxford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Validation Breakthrough: Simple Techniques for Communicating with People with Alzheimer's-Type Dementia (Paperback)
This book will not tell you about sundowner if fact many will not - however there are many websites that do. This book does discuss those who wish to exit but in a manner you may not recognise but should be adpting. This book will help you to see the world from the viewpoint of the sufferor and is therefore a very useful primer for understanding how to work with persons wishing to 'leave'
I suggest you look out for the works of Bere Miesen and richard chesterton and of course the original works of Kitwood and Bredin
