| Annotation | Providing spiritual care for people with dementia is often challenging owing to the high reliance on explicit, language-based, declarative memory in typical religious organisations. Pastoral care providers can break through this barrier of memory, in part, by a thoughtful and deliberate use of techniques related to implicit memory. This involves using another form of memory that is primarily unconscious, diffused, symbolic, affective and non-language based. This article provides several suggestions of how to reach the implicit memory of people with dementia, thereby building relationships with them and providing effective pastoral care. (RH). |
