Abstract

GONCALVES, Daniela C.; ALBUQUERQUE, Pedro B.  and  MARTIN, Inácio. Reminiscência enquanto ferramenta de trabalho com idosos: Vantagens e limitações. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2008, vol.26, n.1, pp.101-110. ISSN 0870-8231.

The main objective of this paper is the analysis of reminiscence, naming is advantages and limitations as an intervention tool towards older adults. We first consider reminiscence as a daily happening, constrained by the social and historical background of the participant. We then describe the adaptation of this strategy to the work with older adults, in prevention or remediation, such as adaptation to institutions or cognitive stimulation in dementias. Finally, we list the main limitations in reminiscence therapy, namely the absence of structured intervention models and the shortfall of strategies to assess their efficiency. We consider some of the possible strategies to promote the accuracy of reminiscence therapy.

Keywords : Reminiscence therapy; intervention; older adults.
