Our vision is to develop this self help group to support
Amnesia patients and their family/friends across Europe.
Many people are affected as a result of amnesia in many different forms.
Unfortunately due to the complexities of the brain, our knowledge as to the cause and
effects of amnesia is not well known in the field of Neurology or Psychiatry.
From personal experiences, we have found that the best therapy has been to speak to other
amnesiac patients or their family. This goes especially to the family who have to deal
with the new image of their loved one. It is best to try and teach amnesia patients on
the good and bad things that come with each different situation.
Whether it has to do with a daily situation or for example: the reactions of amnesia
patients in a normal social environment.
Strategies have to be found to assist in the smooth running of normal daily life.
To try and assist the brain in finding ways to remember or store information by using
brain training methods such as the memory game.
The group is in contact with Prof. Dr. Hans J. Markowitsch, one of the leading
European experts on Amnesia and is currently the Head of Physiological Psychology
at the University of Bielefeld, Germany. We hope this will assist in making contact
with other competent Psychologists and Neurologists throughout the world.
