I found doll therapy to be very beneficial in the recent Dementia area I worked in. There can however be a lot of friction between residents as they fight over whose doll it is. Best to have many on hand. A handy tip, if you need to take the doll away from the resident for e.g. its morning tea time, say that the doll is going to the nursery for a sleep.
