Process variables of the life review: counseling implications.
The concept of the life review as a developmental process is examined with three main objectives. First, the life review is placed within a developmental framework as a dynamic rather than static occurrence in which the individual is an active agent. Secondly, in order to clarify the possible process variables of the life review, three interactive stages are identified and elaborated. Finally, possible counseling interventions are suggested for practitioners working with elderly persons.
