CST Research Projects

With funding from the French government (ANR-21-EXES-0002), CST is currently being adapted for the French population using the Formative Method for Adapting Psychotherapy (FMAP), following the guidelines outlined by Aguirre et al. (2014). This process includes interviews and consultations with healthcare professionals, experts in dementia care to ensure the program aligns with the specific needs of the French community. A feasibility study will then be conducted to evaluate the practicality and cultural relevance of the adapted manual. Finally, it is expected to publish a French version of the CST Manual Making a Difference.
