ABSTRACT
The main goal of rehabilitation is to enable people disabled by injury or disease to return to their own most appropriate environment. Memory rehabilitation should also follow this principle and focus on real-life problems rather than experimental material. Although people with memory impairments and their families should not be led to believe that significant improvement in memory can occur once the period of natural recovery is over, they can, nevertheless, be helped to manage, cope with or bypass problems arising from such impairment.
