Abstract
- The article presents a case study of a 55-year-old man with schizoaffective disorder and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations. The patient undergoes dignity therapy to tell his life story to his children. Following the therapy, he reported that the therapy had restored hope and enabled him to communicate better with his children. It argues that the therapy helped a patient with a debilitating illness face a negative life event.
