Abstract
Reviews the literature describing the use of music, art, and other recreational therapies in patients with dementia. Music as an intervention for patients with dementia has the strongest research base. Much less research has been conducted on the effects of other recreational therapies in persons with dementia, although several recent studies provide a base on which to build. It is concluded that no single music, art, or recreational intervention will work for all patients. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
