ARE REVIEW THERAPY AS AN INTERVENTION TO MANAGE DEPRESSION AND ENHANCE LIFE SATISFACTION IN INDIVIDUALS WITH RIGHT HEMISPHERE CEREBRAL VASCULAR ACCIDENTS Marsha Courville Davis, PhD, RN, CRRN, LPC, NCC Mandeville, Louisiana, USA This pilot study sought to determine if the use of Life Review Therapy would result in lower levels of depression and higher degrees of life satisfaction in individuals with right hemisphere cerebral vascular accidents (CVAs). Fourteen subjects in a southern rehabilitation center were randomly assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group received three one-hour sessions of Life Review Therapy and the control group viewed three one-hour sessions of neutral video with a follow-up discussion. Following the third session of each group subjects were administered the Zung Scale for Depression and the Life Satisfaction Index-Form Z. A one-way ANOVA revealed a significantly lower level of depression (p .01) and a significantly higher degree of life satisfaction (p < 01) in the Life Review Therapy group Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) is a leading cause of adult disabil- ity affecting approximately 750,000 people per year in the United States (Williams, Jaing, Matchar, & Samsa, 1999). Depression is the most commonly reported psychiatric diagnosis in individuals who have expe rienced a CVA. Rates of post-stroke depression have ranged from 25 to 60% (Andersen, Vestergaard. Ingemann-Nielsen. & Lauritzen, 1995
