"Reminiscence Therapy" (RT) has been defined as vocal or silent recall of events in a person's life, either alone, or with another person or group of people. It typically involves group meetings, at least once a week in which participants are encouraged to talk about past events, often assisted by aids such as photos, music, objects and videos of the past. RT is often used to treat a variety of dementia-related disorders in the elderly. > I'll put together a text bibliography on identity > and make it available to anyone who wants it. Great.
