I recently completed the Validation Therapy for Dementia course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. As a psychologist in Egypt, I was interested in learning more about the application of validation therapy in a cultural context that is often collectivist and family-oriented. The course provided a wealth of information on the theoretical underpinnings of validation therapy, as well as its practical applications in various settings, including home care and residential facilities. I appreciated the attention to detail in the course materials, which included a comprehensive bibliography and additional resources for further learning. One of the things that struck me most about the course was the emphasis on empathy and understanding in building trust with patients and their families.

Nevertheless, I feel that the course has given me a solid foundation in validation therapy, and I'm looking forward to integrating these skills into my practice.
