Dignity Therapy and related interventions have been studied for effects on depression, pain, anxiety, and quality of life. Dignity Therapy is presented as a model brief narrative intervention. Dignity Therapy participants answer story-eliciting questions over one or two sessions of about 60 minutes. Dignity Therapy interviews are summarized, transcribed, and returned to participants as keepsake documents. Dignity Therapy is intended for patients with serious or terminal illness and aims to enhance meaning, purpose, and legacy.
