Teaching Direct Practice Techniques for Work with Elders with Alzheimer's Disease: A Simulated Group Experience.
Kane, Michael N.
Educational Gerontology, v29 n9 p777-94 Oct 2003
A role-play exercise about Alzheimer's disease was designed to teach group work with memory-impaired elders. Written comments from 26 social work students revealed four outcomes: demystifying practical knowledge, respect for diversity among memory-impaired individuals, increased awareness of elders' internal states, and awareness of the challenges of group work.
