| Annotation | Reminiscence and life review serve many different functions for diverse people and different functions for the same person at different times. This book considers memory, ageing and values, the why and what of reminiscence, and the ways in which staff who use reminiscence may benefit. It gives guidance about planned reminiscence and life review with individuals, couples and small groups; shows how to capture personal and collective memories in tangible ways; and shows how it might assist marginalised communities. Lastly, it concentrates on adapting reminiscence practice to people with dementia, and how involving families, volunteers, day services and residential staff in encouraging communication and preserving relationships can be of help.
