ilence 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

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.
