Finding Meaning In The Experience Of Dementia The Place Of Spiritual Reminiscence Work

"This groundbreaking book is based on the findings of the first major study of spiritual reminiscence with people with dementia. The authors present the efficacy of spiritual reminiscence with this group, and draw on real examples to demonstrate the many ways in which it can benefit those with the condition. Specific practice issues are addressed, including how to maximize communication, how to nurture connections and how to design an effective spiritual reminiscence programme, and transcripts of sessions are included throughout the book, providing unprecedented insight into how people with dementia experience reminiscence and encouraging reflective practice. The book closes with a set of questions and discussion topics which can be used as the basis of a six-week programme." --from back cover.
