This review is from: Validation Training Program: Training Manual, Level 2: The Practice of Validation (Paperback)

I recently purchased "The Validation Training Program - Training Manual Level Two". I read the various reviews plus the description of the book. Be careful when you purchase this book. There are 3 different books that the review may be talking about.

Book 1 - 392 pages paperback. Title is "The Validation Breakthrough: Simple Techniques for Communicating with People with 'Alzheimer's-Type Dementia' ". This is the detailed book that describes the theory of the validation technique, has relevant examples etc. This is unfortunately not the book I purchased - so I have not read it. But this is the book that everyone raves about as being so insightful etc.

Book 2 - 112 pages paperback. Title is "The Validation Training Program: Training Manual for the Instruction of Validation : Introduction to Validation". This is an introductory manual to the practice of validation. Again - this is not the book I purchased. But it should be read before purchasing the next book.

Book 3 - 62 pages paperback. Title is "The Validation Training Program: The Practice of Validation (Paperback)" However - what is missing in the title is "Training Manual - Level Two". This is the book I purchased. The actual book says "can be taught only by certified Validation instructors / trainers or with special permission of the Validation Training Institute". So this book is useless to me. Also the Amazon description of this books is incorrect - "Ready-to-use overheads and two double-segment videos reinforce the program's content by showing the power of the Validation method " These overheads and videos do not come with the book and must be purchased separately.
