This literature review explores life review techniques, theories like Erikson's, and research applications. It highlights the need for standardized training for practitioners conducting life reviews.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Gerontology
  • Therapeutic Interventions

Background:

  • Life review is a therapeutic technique involving a retrospective look at one's life.
  • Distinguishing life review from reminiscence is crucial for its effective application.
  • Existing literature provides a foundation for understanding its theoretical underpinnings and practical implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize existing literature on life review.
  • To explore theoretical influences, research findings, and therapeutic applications.
  • To identify gaps in current practice and training.

Main Methods:

  • Selective literature review of publications on life review.
  • Analysis of theoretical frameworks, particularly Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development.

  • Discussion of research topics including ego integrity, demographics, and staff impact.

    • Main Results:

    • Life review is influenced by and influences numerous theories, notably Erikson's.
    • Key research areas include ego integrity versus despair, demographic variations, and institutional staff effects.
    • Practitioners often lack formal training, suggesting a need for certification.

    Conclusions:

    • Life review is a significant therapeutic tool with broad theoretical and research implications.
    • Further research is needed on demographic differences and the impact on caregivers.
    • The development of a certified life review training program is recommended.
