- Abstract
Background: The literature suggests that reminiscence therapy (RT) is one of the non-pharmacological treatments with better evidence for older people with neurocognitive disorders (NCD). RT stimulates neuroplasticity and cognitive reserve, and it may have a protective effect on the person with NCD. Objective: To describe in detail the structure and contents of an individual RT intervention protocol applied to older people with NCD. Methodology: Identification of the phases prior to the design of the intervention protocol. Results: Individual RT intervention protocol, in a mixed format, consisting of 26 sessions, twice a week, of approximately 50 minutes each, conducted by trained therapists. Conclusion: The detailed individual RT program can be adequately implemented and replicated, and it may delay the progression of NCD.
