Abstract:
Surviving events that have posed a serious threat to life can result in major psychological problems during the recovery period. Younger patients, with years of life ahead of them, are at risk of depression and loss of self-esteem following their ordeal, despite their physical recovery. Traditional forms of counselling and psychotherapy following traumatic events can sometimes carry a stigma and be viewed as 'disease centred'. Reminiscence and life review therapies, used until now, with the elderly, appear to have valuable transferable benefits to younger survivors of critical illness. Life review and reminiscent interventions are holistic and person centred, techniques resonating with the essence of critical care nursing. Life review and reminiscence can be used therapeutically from an early stage to help minimize the negative psychological effects of being critically ill.
