Annotation | As Director of the European Reminiscence Network, Pam Schweitzer is a pioneer of reminiscence work, particularly in dementia care. In this article, she looks back at 20 years of the International Remembering Yesterday, Caring Today (RYCT) project. The Remembering Yesterday, Caring Today approach has offered new, positive ways of communicating, also discovering or rediscovering shared mutual enjoyment. Carers also feel better about how they were coping, and to become more positive: they experienced the project as an antidote to "carer burnout". (RH). |
