Older adults who overcame oppression [electronic resource] / Harriet L. Cohen, PhD, LCSW, Roberta R. Greene, PhD, MSW, Youjung Lee, MSW, John Gonzalez, MSW, Margaret Evans, MSW. - pp. 35-42.
This article presents the results of a study that examined 24 ethnically diverse older adults’ autobiographical memories of critical life events involving discrimination and oppression. Narrative interviews reveal the impact that such experiences have on individual, family, and societal resilience. The study contributes to the growing body of research literature that allows for a deeper understanding of how a client's particular life story and personal experiences interplay with collective histories. It also discusses how clinicians, including physicians, nurses, and social workers, can benefit from conversations that mutually construct personal narratives that reveal circumstances pertinent to intervention strategies (Cohler & Cole, 1996; Gergen, 1996).
