Dr. O'Philbin mentioned reminiscence therapy earlier. I am fascinated by this. I was looking it up to see what it actually is. I remember when I worked in Cherry Orchard a long time ago - and it was an education - it was only beginning to happen about 20 years ago that music, old photographs and things like that were being introduced. I thought it was really good because the residents at the time were hugely enthusiastic about this kind of therapy. Will Dr. O'Philbin explain more about the advancement of this therapy?
