Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a qualitative case study of a drama-therapy group for older adults at an adult daycare center in Israel. It explores the therapeutic processes in the group in terms of drama therapy and positive aging theory. The group included 12 participants between the ages of 70 and 90, who met for 10 months for 2-hour weekly sessions with a drama therapist (the first author). We used the therapist’s records as data and qualitatively analyzed them. The analysis revealed three main themes: (a) movement arousing memories inherent in the body; (b) the contribution of music to autobiographical memory; (c) transformation and change in the life story through dramatic resonances. These findings shed light on the contribution of drama therapy to support older adults at varied functioning and cognitive levels, and to promote positive aging.

摘要:本文对以色列某成人日托中心的老年人戏剧治疗组进行定性研究。从戏剧疗法和积极衰老理论的角度探讨群体的治疗过程。该小组包括12名年龄在70到90岁之间的参与者,他们每周与戏剧治疗师(第一作者)会面2小时,为期10个月。我们使用治疗师的记录作为数据,并对其进行定性分析。分析揭示了三个主要主题:(a)唤起身体固有记忆的运动;(b)音乐对自传式记忆的贡献;(c)通过戏剧性的共鸣来改变和改变生活故事。这些发现揭示了戏剧疗法在不同功能和认知水平上对老年人的支持,以及促进积极老龄化的贡献。
