Which are the best dolls to use for someone who may soon take part in a trial for representational doll therapy? I have seen many dolls but they don’t look that life-like to me. Thank you.
Hi Therese
This booklet by the Australian governmental Dementia Behaviour Management and Advisory Service includes both information on representational doll therapy which may provide more information on the type of doll that works best. It also includes some suggested doll brands to investigate.
