| Annotation | The authors report on how they turned their anecdotal impressions of the psychological benefits of a post-diagnosis "Coping with Forgetfulness" support group into firm evidence. They describe application of the Assimilation Model of Psychotherapeutic Change, which assumes that people undergoing problematic experiences work through a series of stages or levels that enable them to reach a point of emotional acceptance of their condition.
