A Study on the Role of Humanities Therapy in Designing Program for ‘Successful Aging’

초록

This study aims to show that the Humanities Therapy Program is needed for ‘successful aging’ and ‘self-generated old age’ by delicately grasping the humanistic perspective and the human desire for them as part of the human development stage. In this article I propose the Humanities Therapy Program and Humanities perspective to make for successful old age. First, it is necessary to select a sophisticated word for a positive image of the elderly. This is one of the necessary methods to improve social awareness of the elderly. It could improve the perception of the elderly through the power of popular intellect. Second, it aims to increase the participation of the elderly in the design and implementation of the elderly policy. There is a need to find ways to encourage older people to participate as active policy designers rather than as beneficiaries. Third, as clearly explained in the prior research results, it is essential to design policies that take into account the characteristics, age, sex, and needs of the local community. Setting all elderly people to be a person subject of protection or reverence will result in less effective policies and programs. First of all, they need a social atmosphere to understand them as a dignified person in our society and community.
