摘要：The advancements achieved, with a group of
older adult residents in a retirement house,
depending on the public sector, are shown in this
paper. Its residents do not have a health
professional at their disposal in order to attend
their mental health. Based on these records, a
psychotherapeutic intervention program was
carried out, in order to improve the emotional
well being of a group of people in such an
institution, by providing a greater importance to
those aspects relating to depressive disorders,
self-esteem and the work of contact. The results
showed a statistically meaningful increase in the
perception of their self-esteem and an equally
meaningful decrease in the levels of depression.
Likewise, it could be observed, mainly, a
remarkable increase in their contact abilities,
listening, expression and creativity contributing
in part to the fact that these old people may
move around with dignity and happiness during
their last years of life.
