Therapists can use different types of interventions to treat the cognitive and physical challenges of Alzheimer’s or dementia. They also can combine these treatments with therapeutic interventions as they work best for the client.
A person might have intense emotions about their own cognitive or physical decline, and counselors can tailor the processes of emotional expression to fit the person’s cognitive status.
