Description

Writing Life Histories is a practical handbook which gives clear guidance on how to put together life histories in supportive or residential settings.

It provides:

step-by-step guidance
ideas for different types of life histories
activities, strategies and material for prompting memories
helpful tools and writing tips
suggestions for support and forming partnerships with other local services
ideas for involving the person's family and friends
discussion on ethical issues to be considered.

The benefits of engaging a group or an individual in life history activities include:

an aid to memory
creative stimulation
a personalised identity when in a residential home
promotion of interaction and co-operation with others
continuity with previous life experience thus combating loss of identity as well as an excellent opportunity to pass on knowledge and experience to others.

For staff knowing about past experiences will promote an understanding of behaviour, needs and outlook on life resulting in more personalised care. Staff have references for conversation with cognitive impaired individuals and knowledge about life accomplishments which promotes respect for individuals. This is an indispensible resource for anyone interested in compiling life histories including nurses, residential home staff, carers, tutors and occupational therapists, group facilitators in day centres, clubs for the elderly or learning disabilities.
