reminiscence therapy
Reminiscence therapy is a therapeutic approach that encourages individuals, often those with cognitive impairments like Alzheimer's disease, to recall and share memories from their past. This technique typically involves discussing significant life events, using photographs, music, or familiar objects to stimulate memories and promote engagement.
The goal of reminiscence therapy is to enhance emotional well-being and improve communication skills. By focusing on positive memories, it can help reduce feelings of loneliness and depression, fostering a sense of identity and connection with others. This therapy is often used in nursing homes and senior care facilities.
