Abstract
An empirically conceived group reminiscence program was developed at a psychiatric center to evoke use of communication skills by geriatric residents. The goals were to tap into memories of a period before the patients' onset of dysfunctional mental illness and to prompt positive feelings during the guided discussions, thereby allowing for more frequent, appropriate interaction. Multisensory vivid imagery was employed to stimulate remembrances and increased communication.
