Network therapy: A unique intervention for dementia caregivers

This pilot project used a series of seven case studies to explore a network therapy intervention with spouse caregivers of dementia clients at a community-based agency in Toronto. The study demonstrated an increase in assistance from extra caregivers, an increase in the number and frequency of formal services used, and qualitative changes in caregiver coping styles. The authors discuss the implications of this pilot study for future interventions with these caregivers.
