Reminiscence is a valuable tool for the professional carer as well as those who are looking after a family member or friend. It enhances and enriches the care relationship, and benefits both the person being cared for and the carer.

This fully-updated fourth edition is full of practical information on planning and running successful reminiscence work. It will enable carers and health and social care practitioners to develop the attitude, knowledge, understanding, values and skills they need to use reminiscence with people of all ages, either individually or in groups, and in residential or community settings. Topics covered include reminiscence with individuals and couples, inter-generational reminiscence, reminiscence with individuals from minority ethnic groups and reminiscence with people with sensory and learning disabilities, dementia, depression and terminal illness.

This book is the ideal starting point for any professional taking up reminiscence work, as well as for those who wish to deepen their knowledge and increase their ability to help those they care for in less formal ways.

Industry Reviews

Carolyn Taylor-Score, CAFCASS Enhances Practitioner, Professional Social Work: "This may prove a very useful resource for those family members or professionals working alongside or in partnership with loved ones or service users who are experiencing memory loos or memory recall problems... This book is both a useful handbook and a reference tool - I can see that it will have many applications in a variety of settings. It is sensitively and well written,describing memory as the invisible history of the self. I found it to be a very honest book, admitting that on occasion some people do not want to remember".
