Abstract

A faith based discussion group can do much to en- hance the quality of life of residents within the long t e n care set- ting. Each rndividual's spirituality is a link between self and others, past and present. The facilitator of such a group can use validation techniques and socio-therapeutic principles to lead members toward feelings of community wholeness, outwardly focused behavior and a rencwed desire to contribute to society.
