Program of life review support on the new technologies for elderly people: An positive psychology application

pocas personas mayores reciben tratamiento adecuados para este tipo de dolencias. Entre las opciones terapéuticas disponibles figura la técnica de Revisión de Vida (RV). El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un programa de terapia para personas mayores basado en la técnica de Revisión de Vida a través de las nuevas tecnologías. El programa terapéutico se encuentra implantado en una plataforma tecnológica de e-salud (Sistema Mayordomo) y se enfoca en el entrenamiento de la recuperación de recuerdos autobiográficos específicos positivos. La herramienta tecnológica se dirige a enriquecer la técnica terapéutica de Revisión de Vida, aportando recursos que pueden ayudar y potenciar la labor profesional dentro y fuera del espacio terapéutico.
