Guidelines for a psycho-educational programme to enhance self-actualisation of retired people

The aim of this research is to develop guidelines for a psycho-educational programme to enhance the self-actualisation of retired people. To do this, an investigation was undertaken to determine how to enhance self-actualisation during retirement, through an understanding of the:
• phenomenon of retirement;
• concept of self-actualisation;
• challenges that hamper adjustment and self-actualisation during retirement;
• factors which assist retirees in overcoming challenges and achieving self-actualisation; and
• the role of psycho-educational programmes in enhancing self-actualisation during retirement.
The literature study sought to promote such an understanding through the investigation of writings and research findings. The qualitative investigation attempted to provide a contextual understanding of the above, through an exploration of the retirement experiences of a selected group of retirees living in George (and surrounding area), South Africa. The findings served as the basis for guidelines for a psycho-educational programme to enhance the self-actualisation of retired people. / Psychology of Education / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)
