Stimulative animation - already introduced in the formation of socialeducators - is faced with the new expectations which arise due topopulation’s progressive ageing. For this reason it is of interest toanalyse the theoretical bases which permit the elaboration of dynamics for individualized attention (whether in homes or in institutions)based on human dignity and guaranteeing the quality of life. Theauthor has dedicated the first part of the book to this.In the second part the physical, psychical and sensorial disabilitiesof elderly persons are systematically defined, and the types oflanguage - verbal and analogical - which are used to realizetherapeutic operations aimed at widening their level of independence,are analysed.In the third part the practical proposal is developed, offering aselection of resources gleaned from the experiences of diverse centres and a list of activities elaborated and carried out by the sameauthor.Extracto del Indice:1.
