Multimodal behavior management for people with dementia

Director of Behavioral Health, The Village at Manor Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Various psychological approaches are effective in maintaining and maximizing functioning in Alzheimer's disease. The most efficacious approaches have been based on a combination of individualized, interdisciplinary, and holistic treatment. Such a treatment approach is comparable to Lazarus's multimodal model, which has also been referred to as "systematic eclecticism." The multimodal model is especially well suited for people experiencing dementia, a progressive disorder.

Key Words: behavior management • dementia • multimodal model
