Description
Summary:Reminiscing is an important step in the direction of spiritual maturity and wholeness for the person in early old age. Reminiscence that is shared between persons easily fits into the early Christian concept of cure. It is an act of loving care that heals and helps shape the totality of existence. Therapeutic reminiscence not only enhances the cure of souls in early old age; it also helps to close the gap between the depressing expectations of younger generations and the reality of continued growth in the last half of life. A bibliography is appended.
