I noticed quite interesting thing: my involvement in art helps me to stay in peace with myself, transforms all personal problems into the images, which colors gladden my eyes and thus make the words the riddles.
Art therapy nourishes the dreams,improves the visions and heals by teaching the patients to focus on what’s beautiful here and now. It looks as a freedom from memory – as the new birth.
Therefore I was confused to read about the improvement of … memory.

I, too, am doing art therapy with dementia patients. In fact, my entire Adult Day Service is dedicated to doing art with dementia patients in order to create new neurological pathways in the brain and enhance memory. How can I get in touch with Dr. Bresky?

Thank you for this article! I am an Art Therapist working with TBI/Substance Abuse adults and see the transformations through art and music in our program. Some of our clients have dementia as a result of their brain injury and they continue to draw and paint everyday. I am so grateful we can offer these therapies to our clients. Thanks for your blog, I love your articles and comments.
