Abstract:
Silence has been shown to be the most relaxing factor in a recent study and has also been shown to allow for the growth of new neurons. The following article introduces Resonant Silence Technique (RST), a new therapeutic approach in the treatment of dementia using a quieting environment, subtle sound and intentional silence. RST has been reported to provide positive behavioral change with those with dementia. This paper describes the development of RST, it’s practical application and suggests avenues of further research to bring RST to the larger medical dementia treatment community.
