Abstract:
In 2020 Dignity Therapy Protocol was administered to the patients taken in charge by Avellino Ser. D (Addiction services of Avellino healthcare unit) for addiction problems and assigned to U.E.P.E. (Office of External Enforcement) on parole and to complete the full term of sentence. Before and after administering Dignity Therapy Protocol, Beck Depression Inventory was used in order to evaluate the possible improvement of the quality of life of the patient, associated with a decrease in depressive symptoms. This experimentation has allowed to highlight perspectives and issues in the application of Dignity Therapy Protocol, in different contexts than the one in which it was born. A decrease in the scores in the detected items has been observed in almost all participants.
