Based on The Validation Breakthrough by Naomi Feil, Executive Director of the Validation Training Institute in Cleveland, Ohio, and creator of Validation theory, this manual introduces readers to the theory and its basic concepts. The program provides a set of tools, such as visual aids, exercises, and activities that help participants gain insight into the aging process; practice empathy with older adults who have dementia; and integrate the principle of Validation into their work with older people.
