Case Composite: Masahiro

Using data extracted from progress log notes from three separate case composites, we will more fully understand the potential outcomes of Dementia Grief Therapy (DGT). It is important to note that while the presented information in these three chapters is each a case composite, for the purpose of protecting the confidentiality of the individual participants with whom I work or have worked, the process of change and outcomes is based on my actual progress log notes. Therefore, the changes in cognitions, relationships, losses, and physical activity are actual changes experienced by real people. It is also important to understand that although I have signed written permission from each participant as well as their legal representative, to share their information, it is important to me to maintain anonymity by changing identifying features. Any similarities any reader recognizes between a real person and data discussed is representative of the shared human experience.
