Research projects
The project involved the translation and cultural adaptation of the CST manual. The study was conducted at the Memory Clinic (Clínica de la Memoria) in AMI (Asistencia Médica Integral) in Florencio Varela, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The adaptation was made following the FMAP method (formative method for adapting psychotherapy) developed by Hwang W. C. This involved interviews with people with dementia and caregivers, and consultation with healthcare professionals. A feasibility study was then carried out in order to test the applicability and cultural sensitivity of the adapted manual to the Argentinian population living from dementia. This involved running two CST groups, each with 4 participants.
