FOR ANY CLINICIAN DOING PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH OLDER CLIENTS
Therapy with Older Clients: Key Strategies for Success
Therapy with Older Clients must become required reading for any professional working with an older population . . .
-Sophie Freud,
Professor Emerita of Social Work, Simmons College
An understanding of aging alone does not make an effective therapist, and Dr. Agronin offers key strategies in this book for putting various forms of psychotherapy into action, illustrated with real-life case examples. Readers are taught how to understand the aging process and its impact on late-life mental health, as well as how to conduct age-guided evaluations, work with caregivers, deal with countertransference, and handle end-of-life issues.
