Let me tell you a story: A model of conversation for people with dementia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Storytelling is an important method of communication at all stages of life. Sharing narratives about lived events and experiences provides topics of conversation and opportunities for connecting with other people. In this paper we apply a conventional model of story telling to the verbal reminiscences of older people with a dementia diagnosis. Their stories retain the conventional structure, suggesting that storytelling, which is an enjoyable and engaging social activity, can provide a conversation model for people with dementia.

I was born in Winnipeg, Man, an...

here did Mr. B. go? I've been watching him watch me for the last 4 hours and now that it's finally his turn to be seen he's gone. The least these people could do is tell someone before they leave. But I waited for 8 hours and you never came to see me. First of all — you only waited 7 hours. Don't exaggerate. Second — I was busy seeing other patients. I was saving lives! Yeah, right!
