Important documentary dealing with understanding of Alzheimer’s
Published September 25, 2016 Uncategorized 1 CommentThe documentary I Remember Better When I Paint has to date broadcast in more than 1,500 showings on PBS stations across North American, and the film continues to broadcast during 2016.
The Gerontologist, a publication of the Gerontological Society of America—a leading source in that field, recently published an article by Rick J. Scheidt, PhD, about the documentary I Remember Better When I Paint.
And here is what it says about the film:
“ I Remember Better When I Paint is perhaps the most important documentary to date dealing with our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).”
The article goes on to say that the film:
“ …should be required viewing of every gerontology educator and practitioner, regardless of years in rank. Every student who is currently training in adult development, aging, gerontology, or geriatric medicine should see this video.
Indeed, it may even be more critical viewing for long-time professionals who may continue to define those with AD and related dementias almost solely in terms of symptoms associated with physical and cognitive loss.
This is a refreshing film of hope and possibilities. It shows the impact of non pharmaceutical approaches in the creative arts on persons affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD), including those who have dementia, family members, care professionals, and community members.”
