Sammanfattning
A theoretical model for the assessment of interaction between the severely demented patient and his caregiver during feeding is suggested. It is based on literature of impairments in demented patients and interaction. The main concepts of the model are clarity of cues, sensitivity, interpretation, responsiveness and synchrony. The model stresses the fact that when the senile demented patient's communicative competence declines, the caregiver has to compensate for his disability.
