Encouraging Successful Ageing and Positive Affect in Older Adults : A Review Study

This review study, based on 84 papers published in various journals, aims to synthesize recent literature suggesting that the mental health of the elderly can be improved. It significantly underscores the crucial role of four types of interventions: psychotherapy, yoga, expressive art-based therapy, and religious and spiritual interventions in fostering successful Ageing and positive affect. Significantly, these findings not only contribute to our understanding of successful ageing but also have practical implications, providing a roadmap for future research and interventions in gerontology, psychology, and mental health. This practical aspect of our study should inspire hope and motivate further action in our audience.
