This paper analyzes the impact of a reminiscence program on the psychological
well-being and ego integrity of elderly people with depressive
symptomatology. Ninety people aged 65 and over participated in a quasiexperimental
design with pretest and posttest evaluations. They were
assigned to one of three groups: (a) experimental group (reminiscence
sessions); (b) control group or (c) control-placebo group (weekly relaxation
sessions). The results indicate that only the experimental group had
significant increases in its overall psychological well-being and ego integrity.
This suggests that the promotion of instrumental and integrative
reminiscences is an important therapeutic tool for psychological wellbeing
in elderly people with depressive symptomatology.
