Samenvatting

In this research, the effect on the quality of life of people older than 80, who participated in psychomotor therapy (PMT) and mainly the (re)discovering of their qualities, is measured.
Within this research, literature study has been carried out to clarify the concepts and to make the concepts understandable.
A total of three seniors has participated in six PMT meetings, in which the (re)discovering of qualities was the main goal.
To measure the effect, a questionnaire and an observation list have been used. These tools were filled in by the seniors twice, the first one was filled in before the meetings started and the second one after the last meeting.
The results of both measurements were compared. It turned out that two-third of the participants had an increased quality of life after the second meeting.
In a short conclusion; offering PMT to people older than 80 years has a positive effect on their quality of life.
