Abstract
Art therapy is an effective method of treating behavioral and psychological issues in individuals with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and has been tested amongst patients as early as the 1980s. Although similar benefits have been seen in populations of people who are not at risk for this disease, studies have shown art therapy to be effective at lowering levels of depression, improving social skills, supplementing verbal communication, enhancing quality of life, and maintaining fine motor skills in participants with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, some research has suggested that art therapy may play a role in improving cognition, delaying neuronal decay, and inspiring autobiographical memories, though further research is needed to support these arguments. This chapter will dissect the many studies that suggest various cognitive and psychological benefits, analyze current interventions, examine art's role in a therapeutic setting, and advocate for future studies.
