THE LIFE REVIEW:
In late adulthood people often struggle to find meaning and purpose in their lives and in their deaths. This process is often assisted by an engaging in a technique called a life review. Life Review interviews may be undertaken for a variety of purposes including diagnostic, where the goal is to identify issues to be addressed therapeutically, personal reminiscence, or the creation of an oral history that leaves a permanent record of experiences and information for future generations. A Life Review maybe a formal interview, with a series of questions and responses, or a free-flowing conversation between interviewer and subject.

IMPORTANT:
You must document how the answers from your interviewee link to information learned from our text about the various life stages. Be sure to make it clear exactly how the concepts you cite relate to the response of the person being interviewed.
Each question must be answered with a well-constructed paragraph using proper punctuation, mechanics and grammar.
You must conclude with a final paragraph indicating how you could envision using the Life Review Interview technique either professionally or personally.
You can list each question and answer it - but be sure that you are writing in complete sentences.
LIFE REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. Introduce your interviewee. Who were you named after and why?"
2. What did I learn? (important skills, knowledge, awareness, etc.)
3. What did I do that I am proud of? (accomplishments)
4. What would I have done differently? Why?
5. What did I accomplish or relinquish? What still feels incomplete to me?
6. What did I do right? What do I feel especially good about? What was my greatest contribution?
7. What were the fun things I did?
8. What were my biggest challenges/roadblocks/difficulties?
9. How am I different now than as a young adult?
10. For what am I particularly grateful?
EXAMPLES of good responses:
Who were you named after and why?
My dad named me after Mother Theresa because is known for helping others. My mom chose my middle name Ann after St. Anne who she prayed to for a healthy child during her pregnancy. According to the text, religion seems to play a supportive role in social support, encouragement of health lifestyles, positive emotional states, and faith in God as a way of interpreting misfortunes (p. 591). Naming me after two religious figures shows my parents connection between religiosity and health, well-being and marital satisfaction (p. 591).
How am I different now than as a young adult?
When I was a young adult I didn’t know what occupation I wanted or where I wanted to live. As I grew up, I was able to identify that helping people as a nurse would put my skills to great use. I knew that whatever city I resided in would dictate what kind of live style I would live as in a small, quiet country town or a fast pace city. Ultimately, I figured out that I enjoyed the city life a lot more than a quiet town. Not only were there more choices for stores but there were also more venues for rock concerts. Before I used to worry about the small things, but now I realized that I have to live everyday to the fullest instead of getting caught up in stress. According to the text, I was experiencing what all adolescences have to overcome, a sense of identity. Identity is formed when a person resolves their choice of occupation and adoption of values (p. 390). Once I was able to resolve these pressing issues, I was able to feel a sense of belonging, identification of values and sustained loyalty (p. 391). These feeling are still with me today.
Message from Professor to further assist with assignment:
Hey everyone -
I have had a few questions from students about the Life Review assignment. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind.
1) Please describe something about the person that you are interviewing - even if it's yourself. And if you are interviewing yourself, do not interview you current self, but your "future self" as described in the assignment. You should (in your imagination, anyway) be in a place where you are able to look back on your life.
2) Your interview should consist of at least 10 questions. You do not have to use the ones provided, but you will want to try to make sure that the questions lead to responses that will be easy to link to course concepts.
3) The main point of this assignment for this course is for you to demonstrate an understanding of, and an ability to apply, course concepts to the real world. Therefore you must link course concepts to each of the interview responses. Turning in just an interview does not meet the assignment objectives.
4) You should use DIFFERENT course concepts for each of your interview question. The textbook is over 400 pages long, and there are a LOT of concepts covered in there. There is no reason that you would ever have to use a concept more than once in a 10 question interview.
