Summary

The purpose of this book is to evaluate the use of reminiscence and recall in caring situations, bringing together work by psychologists, gerontologists, social workers, nurses and community workers - who have first hand experience of reminiscence. The contribitors take a critical overview of the field, standing back to look at thier own and others' practice. They reflect on the processes involved in specific contexts and suggest ways of developing more sensitive approaches in the area of work which has seen much activity, but little reflection and evaluation. The book includes descriptions of work in hospitals, schools and a variety of community settings.
