title: [Rehabilitation of memory: strategies, indications and limits].
abstract: The rehabilitation of memory must be defined in terms of patient selection, therapist support and techniques as accurately as for language therapy. Three objectives can be offered for organic amnesia: reorganizing the memory by using alternative intact routes; working with remaining intact memory as the implicit focus, modification of surroundings with 'mnemonics protheses' such as a diary, alarms. The approach must be cognitive for the theoretical support of therapists, but also pragmatic to respect the patient's needs and wishes in the context of family and job. Patient selection must be based not only on rigorous aetiological and neurological grounds but also on an individual and cognitive understanding of each patient.
