"I conceive of life review as a naturally occurring, universal mental process characterized by the progressive return to consciousness of past experiences, and, particularly, the resurgence of unresolved conflicts; simultaneously, and normally, these revived experiences and conflicts can be surveyed and reintegrated." Robert N. Butler, PhD (1963) |

Interviewing Older Adults & Life Review (Geron 6130) |
|
|
Instructor: Tom Meuser, PhD
This course combines training in interviewing techniques with video production. Students will learn how to conduct life review interviews with older adults, and then take these skills into the community by interviewing older adults living in various settings. Students will learn how to use a digital video camera and edit video clips on the computer. Student-conducted interviews will be viewed by the instructor and classmates, issues associated with aging will be discussed, and constructive feedback provided. Some of the video clips developed in the course will become part of an educational video clip library in support of Gerontology education through UMSL. The class in 2010 will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 - 8:40 pm commencing on Tuesday, May 18 and concluding on Thursday, June 24. The class will meet in Villa 155 on South Campus. |
