| Research Abstract |
This study is to identify the significance and the effectiveness of reminiscence therapy for the elderly with dementia. I have summarized as following.
1.I have studied the effectiveness of reminiscence therapy for the elderly old adults with dementia reading the selected overseas theses (original) that provide the definition of reminiscence therapy, its purpose and method and the results of the studies. And I have abstracted the following; 1)that it is possible to activate all the remaining five senses, 2)The caregivers and the carereceivers (old adults) both enjoy the interaction, 3)that transfer (inheritance) to the next generation is performed, 4)that integration of life (acceptance of the past and the present, prospect for future) is promoted, 5)that adscription to group (community) or society and mutual association are made possible, 6)that they enjoy reminiscence itself as comfortable and pleasant activity/experience.
It is considered that there is enough possibility to establish

reminiscence therapy as one of the methods of approach to old adults with dementia.
2.As the result of viewing the video image of remembering scene of the elderly with dementia various emotions and reactions are expressed.
The deepness and seriousness of the feeling that the caregivers or the families holds towards the contents of the stories told by the elderly with dementia was proved by their expressions reacting to the stimulating parts of the reminiscence or the expressions or the actions by the old adults with dementia.
3.It has been proven that maneuvering and using of digital video is effective as one of the methods to judge the importance of the scene of reminiscence from the expressions of the caregivers and families.
Reminiscence therapy can be judged as effective from above. However not only the elderly with dementia themselves it is necessary to duly grasp the surrounding families or environment and the reactions viewed for the caregiver's side in order to establish the reminiscence therapy as one of the effective approaches. Also, production of DVD and its utilization are considered to be effective as one of the methods of assessment. Less
