“…Specifi c aims of reminiscence therapy include (a) enhancing communication, (b) increasing a sense of personal identity, (c) providing an enjoyable activity with others, (d) improving mood and well-being and quality of life, (e) stimulating memories, (f) increasing individualization of care, and (g) reducing caregiver strain (Moos & Bjorn, 2006;Pusey, 2000 ;Woods et al). Evidence supporting interpersonal benefi ts of reminiscence therapy includes enhanced caregiver -patient relation ship, en hanced socializing with others, enhanced feelings of well-being, and providing a family-shared legacy ( Allen, 2009, Allen, Hilgeman, Ege, Shuster, & Burgio, 2008Brooker & Duce, 2000 ;Gibson, 1994 ;Olsen, Hutchings, & Ehrenkrantz, 2000 ;Woods, 1994 ). Woods and colleagues suggest that further clinical studies are required on reminiscence therapy to understand its impacts.…”
