| Abstract | The two vignettes depicted in this video show typical examples of troublesome behavior in very old people who are disoriented. The first, Marge, the Blamer, shows an 85-year-old woman accusing her beautician of deliberately ruining her hair. By using the validation method, the beautician does not argue. Instead, she elicits Marge s thoughts and memories through a series of questions. Validated, Marge calms down. In the second vignette, Muriel the Wanderer, an 86-year-old woman searches the streets for her lost three-year-old daughter. Neither the police nor Muriel s son can convince her that her daughter is now a grown woman, and that the incident took place years ago. The son learns to listen with empathy, reducing his mother s anxieties. In clear "before" and "after" scenes, this video offers techniques that will help reduce burnout for caregivers and alleviate stress for the old person. Part of the series: Two Videos on the Validation Method. The other video is The More We Get Together. |
