| Annotation | To date, there is little information on the therapeutic effects of the life review beyond one year. This analysis followed 52 participants who lived in a nursing home for at least 3 years. These participants received either a life review or friendly visit, and took part in four repeated testings to determine the lasting effects of the life review at 2 and 3 years. Measures of integrity (life satisfaction, psychological well-being, self-esteem) and despair (depression, hopelessness, and suicide intent) were used at pre-test, post-test and retest. For those who received the life review, there was a continued trend of improvement for measures of depression, life satisfaction and self-esteem over the 3 years. (RH). |
