520    "Finding the connection with a loved one afflicted with 
       dementia is a challenge millions of people face: One in 
       ten Americans has a family member with Alzheimer's, and 
       one in three knows someone with the disease. This book 
       offers care partners practical, hands-on ideas for 
       meaningful, creative activities they can do with their 
       patients, family members, or friends who have dementia. It
       also includes creative tips for busy care partners, 
       offering quick and easy forms of renewal and respite. Too 
       often, people living with dementia are entertained instead
       of engaged. Research shows that artistic and imaginative 
       activities reduce the need for psychotropic medications. 
       Doing activities together also increases social 
       interactions, builds positive energy, and adds a sense of 
       discovery to the day. Connecting in the Land of Dementia 
       also features the innovative ideas of about seventy 
       thought leaders in the field of dementia and creativity. 
       Both family and professional care partners can use these 
       activities, in areas such as music, movement, cooking, 
       nature, storytelling, poetry, movies, technology, and more,
       to engage and connect with people who are living with 
       dementia. Deborah Shouse is a writer, speaker, creativity 
       catalyst, and dementia advocate. Her first book in the 
       Love in the Land series is a best-seller for CRP. Her 
       writing has appeared in a variety of publications 
       including the Washington Post, Huffington Post, Natural 
       Awakenings, Reader's Digest, Newsweek, Woman's Day, 
       Spirituality & Health, the Chicago Tribune, and Unity
