[Reminiscence therapy with the elderly].
Extending the possibilities of psychotherapeutic treatment, reminiscence therapy and life review seem to be especially suited to help elderly patients cope with crisis or depression. However, there are still many differences in methods and techniques applied. In this article, the role of the past in depression, previous research on reminiscence therapy as well as its possible goals and methods are considered. An example of reminiscence group therapy in a psychogeriatric day hospital is presented.
