With the progressing loss of coherent memory the world of the demented person dissolves into a succession of fragmented and incomprehensible situations. The resulting uncertainty leads to an increased need of self-assurance: in search of familiar surroundings and personal identity, the patient escapes into his preserved memories and begins to live in his past. Reminiscence may thus become a source of continuous strain to the persons entrusted with caring for the patient; on the other hand, it may as well open avenues to a deeper understanding of the patient and his world.
随着连贯记忆的逐渐丧失，痴呆患者的世界瓦解成一系列支离破碎、难以理解的情境。由此产生的不确定性导致对自我肯定的需求增加：为了寻找熟悉的环境和个人身份，患者沉浸于留存的记忆中，开始活在过去。因此，回忆可能会持续给负责照顾患者的人带来压力；另一方面，它也可能为更深入地理解患者及其世界开辟道路。
