Abstract
Aging is an inevitable process experienced by everyone and is closely associated with a decline in both physical and mental functions. Physically, the elderly are vulnerable to age-related diseases, including dementia. Life Review Therapy (LRT) emerges as a non-pharmacological intervention that assists the elderly in reflecting on and contemplating various aspects of their lives. The roots of this therapy are based on Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory and aim to enhance emotional and psychological well-being through the process of recalling and narrating life experiences. The steps of LRT involve discussions about successes, failures, and significant events in life, with the goal of rebuilding meaning and providing satisfaction. In cases of dementia, LRT can provide cognitive stimulation, allowing individuals to engage in thinking and remembering activities, potentially improving cognitive function. This therapy can also strengthen social relationships and offer opportunities for individuals to share their life stories with others.
