We would propose to compare different alternative therapies in order to determine their respective effectiveness, also taking into account the role of external and internal determinants of mental health (other diseases and socio-economic aspects, for instance).
Following research questions are essential in the p roject:
- Which method has the greatest impact on the wellbeing of persons with dementia?
- What can be done with the "new" methods in order to increase their impact?
