This is the fifth in our series of articles set out like a debate, with the Proposition required to prove its case and the Opposition aiming to show why the Proposition is wrong. The Proposition case is that people with dementia can derive benefit from cognitive programs. A global cognitive stimulation approach can improve cognitive function and quality of life and reduce behavioural disturbance. The Opposition argues that the terminology is too confused for any meaningful conclusion to be drawn from the research. The authors reach the cautious conclusion that the benefits of case by case evaluated cognitive therapy outweigh the drawbacks.
