While dealing with terminally ill patients during the last two decades, Prof. HM Chochinov has developed a short intervention, in a program of palliative care, with the aim to promote and enhance the dignity in dying people. Chochinov and his team have addressed several challenges that particularly influence the sense dignity, among them continuity of self, role preservation, acceptance, resilience and generativity. The Chochinov’s model of dignity therapy has been adopted in many Countries around the world, and it is now applied also in a few Italian centers.
