The author describes Guided Autobiography, a course based on the life review concept, and evaluates its impact on self‐concept, time competence, and purpose in life. Despite a lack of significant results on the dependent measures, informal evaluations and a follow‐up study indicated that the course had resulted in some positive changes.
