Description
The treatment program consisted of 6 sessions which was held once a week for an hour due to the physical circumstances of samples and according to the handbook of interventions. The topics for each session included: 1- Major turning points in life. 2- Family history. 3- Career. 4- History of loves and hates. 5- Stressful experiences. 6- Meaning and purpose of life.
Because of using integrative reminiscence, the participants interpreted and assessed the subjects with the help of the therapist at the end of each discussion session and tried to find and give meaning to what the person had experienced and acceptance of negative past experiences and integrate them into the present life.
