The Validation Breakthrough Simple Techniques for Communicating with People with "Alzheimer's- Type Dementia," Second Edition By Naomi Feil, M.S.W.

* Praise for the first edition

“...a refreshing departure from the overly medicalized perspective that characterizes much of today’s approaches to the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease.”
—Contemporary Gerontology


“This book may truly bring about miracles in the interactions of caregivers tending demented elderly patients…”
—Academic Library Book Review


“...it is such a good book to read it might not ‘stand up’ to the wear and tear that a well read library copy would demand … well worth considering purchasing by all who care for older people with Alzheimer’s-type dementia.”
—Australian Journal on Aging


“Feil is one of the very few people in the field who has dealt with the emotional aspects of advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Her new book is written with humor, sensitivity, respect, and genuine sympathy. It is an important addition to the literature.”
