Abstract

This chapter provides instructions for conducting the eighth session of meaning-centered group psychotherapy. The reader is instructed to help members to reflect on their group experience in light of the last seven sessions. Facilitators will facilitate dialogue and reflection around members’ thoughts and feeling surrounding the finality of their group experience in light of facing important transitions and facing their own mortality due to their cancer illness. They will also guide the group in exploring what it has been like to share their cancer experiences and life stories with others in the group and to witness others’ stories in return. Time should be given to share and explore members’ final ‘Legacy Projects,’ as well as meaningful experiences within the group process. Time should also be allotted for patients to offer feedback regarding their group experience and hopes for the future.
