"The concept of the Tapestry is a very powerful tool in developing self
awareness. I strongly recommend this technique for old and young alike, for
life review and life discovery. Dr. Meltzer has developed a program which is
very effective and which I have utilized in the classroom setting for
tradition students as well as with later life learners. This life review
instrument will revolutionize reminiscence strategies."

"Completing the Self-Discovery Tapestry is an engaging opportunity to review
one's major occupations and important life milestones. It assists in
structuring a narrative about one's life that can become a vital part of
lifestyle redesign in occupational therapy. Students and experienced
practitioners should learn to use this inviting method."

"I have used the Self-Discovery Tapestry with my adult clients. It proved to
be an exciting visual aid of great benefit for mental health counseling,
reviewing adaptive life changes, and reminiscence discussions. The client is
as empowered as the therapist."
