The Enabling Approach projects for elderly with dementia - Pietro Vigorelli
dementia
Preface
Keeping alive the speech of those who risk its loss, helping people recover the message when words are getting fragile are the main aims of this book.
Through the presentation of real projects - Welcoming Project, for newly admitted residents in Nursing Homes; ABC Group Project, for caregivers; Museum Project, for people with dementia - the reader will discover how these aims may be realized.
Chapter 1.
The Enabling Approach
The Enabling Approach is a professional intervention that seeks to create an enabling environment in the location where frail elderly people live, with or without dementia.
In this environment they can exercise their Basic Abilities, especially the Speech Ability, as they are able to do - as they actually do - without feeling in error, and with the only aim of being happy in doing what they are doing.
The goal is to create the conditions for a Happy-enough Coexistence between the speakers, elderly people, operators and family members.
Origin and intersections
The Enabling Approach was introduced in the early 2000s by Pietro Vigorelli and has spread through multi-disciplinary seminars and training courses organized by Anchise Group in Milan and across Italy.
From the methodological point of view, the Enabling Approach is derived from direct experience in assisting people and from the study of verbal exchanges between elderly people and operators, which were recorded and carefully transcribed.
The Enabling Approach has its roots in the concept of Therapeutic Alliance and is derived from Giampaolo Lai’s method called Conversazionalismo
.
It intersects with contributions of other authors: Naomi Feil with Validation
; Carl Rogers, Tom Kitwood and The Bradford Dementia Group with Person centered care
; Moyra Jones with Gentlecare
; John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth with Attachment Theory
, Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen with Capability Approach
.
Basic Abilities
Within the Enabling Approach, there are five Basic Abilities:
• Speech Ability, which refers to producing and exchanging words, regardless of their meaning.
• Communicating Ability, by means of verbal, non-verbal and para-verbal language.
• Emotional Ability, which refers to having, expressing and sharing emotions, and recognizing those of the interlocutor.
• Negotiating Ability, which means working towards agreements or compromises through speaking (an expression of this ability is observed in the negotiation of the narrative theme during verbal exchanges).
• Deciding Ability, referring to daily choices even when cognitive deficits are present and in contexts where freedom of decision-making is much reduced (extreme expressions of this ability are represented by oppositional behaviors, relational closure and isolation from the world).
Anchise Group proposes the Enabling Approach in the care of older people, wherever they live, both in the presence or absence of cognitive deficits (including all types of dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease). When an enabling environment is created, elderly people feel allowed to perform activities which they are capable of doing, in their own way, without feeling in error. The only purpose is to be as happy as possible, in doing what they are doing, in their own way, in the particular context in which they are.
Key concepts
The key concepts forming the foundation of the Enabling Approach are the Recognition of Basic Abilities, the Recognition of Multiple Identities (frail old people and people with dementia are not only people in need of assistance; in every person there are several stratified identities), the Recognition of Possible Worlds (the World of Before and the World of After, the World of Here and the World of There) and the Recognition of the point of view and value system of frail elderly people, both with or without dementia.
Recognition of Basic Abilities
The Recognition of Basic Abilities is a complex activity which consists of
• Focusing attention on each Basic Ability in the moment in which it appears, as it appears.
• Identifying, which means understanding and naming the Basic Ability that appears.
• Accepting that frail elderly people say what they say, express what they express, without interrupting or correcting them.
• Facilitating the appearance of Basic Abilities without judging them (Basic Abilities should not be judged as right or wrong).
• Giving Effectiveness, which means seriously considering what the speaker is expressing and, if appropriate, passing from words to action.
Fields of application
The Gruppo Anchise proposes the Enabling Approach in the care of older people, both in the presence or absence of cognitive deficits (including all types of dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease). When an enabling environment is created, elderly people feel allowed to perform activities which they are capable of doing, in their own way, without feeling in error. The only purpose is to be as happy as possible, in doing what they are doing, in their own way, in the particular context in which they are.
Tools and settings
The Enabling Approach focuses attention on verbal exchanges between the speakers; the tools are listening and words.
An operator employing the Enabling Approach would capture the Basic Abilities of the interlocutor as they occur and how they occur, and with his own verbal
