Abstract
Psychological therapies take many different forms, and can be used in different contexts to meet different needs. In dementia care, psychological therapies can be used in a formal or informal way. The formal, or structured, use of psychological therapies focuses on talking about feelings, emotions and ways of thinking; occurs regularly within a specific context; draws on psychological formulations (a set of hypotheses about a person’s difficulties which link theory and practice); promotes change within the individual or the system around the person (including changes within relationships and families); and aims to enhance wellbeing either by helping individuals to understand themselves and their illness or by changing their patterns of thinking or behaviour. Increasingly, however, psychological therapies are being used informally, either as elements of multi-component interventions or with people with more severe levels of cognitive impairment.
