Mourning and reminiscence are therapeutic processes common in therapeutic work with the elderly. However, a theoretical explanation of why they are effective has been lacking. Personal construct theory accounts for both in terms of the search of elderly persons for validation of their construct systems. In this article, this explanation of the parallel psychotherapeutic processes is explored, together with relevant information from the literature on mourning and reminiscence. Therapeutic case studies illustrate the characteristics of the two processes and the relationship between them.
哀悼和回忆是老年治疗工作中常见的治疗过程。然而，一直缺乏对它们为何有效的理论解释。个人建构理论从老年人寻求其建构系统的验证方面对这两者进行了解释。在本文中，探讨了对这两种平行心理治疗过程的这种解释，以及来自哀悼和回忆相关文献的信息。治疗案例研究说明了这两个过程的特点以及它们之间的关系。
