I would like to know how those using Validation Therapy according to Naomi Feil apply this in their work. What branch of care is this therapy being used and do they document their work? Who can be validated and who cannot and why?
Dear @Muhammad, validation is a method of communicating with and helping disoriented very old people.

Dear Muhammed,
I am afraid I am not the right person to ask for alzheimer patients
best regards

@Ljubomir Jacic, @Shaban Ahmed Ali Abdel-Raheem, @ Ayman Tammaa: Many thanks for your beautiful entries and precious time.

Who can be validated and who cannot and why?
I work in a dementia assessment unit and am familiar with The Validation Therapy according to Naomi Feil. The use if the theory is not something I would record in patient notes but it is a good point and I will consider it for the future. It is my belief that it is not a case of who can be validated, who cannot and why but rather - when can the theory be used. To give an example a lady with severe symptoms of dementia came up to me and broke down, was sobbing her heart out because her father had just died. Her father had actually died 40 years previously. It was not appropriate to remind her of this discussion or go into great depth of analysis but instead validate her feelings then spent time with her borrowing something from the de-escalation techniques we use. I hope I have answered your question in the manner which you had hoped.
