Reminiscence therapy is specifically designed to support individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia in connecting with their memories and past experiences. This type of therapy encourages patients to recall significant moments from their lives, facilitating conversation and emotional engagement. It can enhance cognitive function, provide comfort, and improve overall quality of life for those living with memory impairments. While remembering the past is a general idea captured in another option, reminiscence therapy is more structured and intentional, focusing on social interaction and therapeutic benefits tailored to the needs of individuals with cognitive decline. The option referring to a ritual does not relate to the therapeutic nature of reminiscence. Similarly, the reference to persons in long-term care facilities does not encapsulate the specific objectives and methods involved in reminiscence therapy.
