Nostalgic memories in dementia--a case study.

Mills MA1, Coleman PG.

Abstract

The literature indicates that some moderately to severely demented elderly people can still recall their emotionally subjective past. Emotion and cognition have a relationship that can be clearly seen in the recall of nostalgic memories. This article outlines a case study that illustrates how emotional autobiographical memories of past events can be stimulated through the individual use of reminiscence and counseling skills. The authors suggest that there are possible therapeutic effects attached to this approach and that this is an area worthy of further investigation.
