This film presents both individual and group art therapy sessions for individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Carole Kunkle-Miller conducts an individual session with a long-time client, guiding her through material selection and artistic creation while discussing personal family stories. The group session, facilitated by Ruth Abraham, involves five participants. The session (shown with Hebrew with English subtitles) begins with a discussion about renowned artists, which transitions into participants sharing their own artistic creations. Members engage in individual art activities and later view and comment on one another’s work. Both sessions highlight the therapeutic process and the role of art in fostering connection and expression. The film offers a heartfelt glimpse into working with Alzheimer’s patients through creativity.
