Our study shows how social workers in sessions with people suffering from dementia keep focus on the healthy abilities of these people. We have come to the conclusion that the social workers also intend to increase the persons KASAM through comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness in their support to the individual suffering from dementia.
