Summary
"Update to offer professionals and students an even more thorough account of therapy with older adults, the second edition of Bob G. Knight's best-selling book now expands on important issues while presenting his maturity-specific model as a conceptual framework. Sensitively linking both research and experience, Psychotherapy With Older Adults provides a practical account of the knowledge, technique, and skills necessary to work with older adults in a therapeutic relationship. This volume considers the essentials of gerontology as well as the nature of therapy in greater depth, including special content areas and common themes. Also a major addition is a comprehensive discussion of assessment and options for intervention. Numerous case examples illustrate the dynamics of the therapeutic task and issues covered in therapy and stress the human element in working with older adults. A new concluding chapter considers ethical questions and the future of psychotherapy with older adults."--Jacket.

They integrate these with current systemic thinking to offer new perspectives on working with older people in a range of physical health, mental health and social care contexts. This book is practice led and contains a wealth of examples that will be familiar both to practitioners working with older people and to older people themselves and their families. The authors, all experienced clinicians, place an emphasis on how systemic and narrative.

Summary
Newly revised and updated! In this second edition, Brody and Semel contend that meaningful and successful therapy can be accomplished with an aging population, debunking the belief that the elderly can not pick up or put into practice newly acquired information. Rather, the way in which therapy with aging adults is approached may affect the way in which the therapist initially experiences and reacts to the client because of stereotypes about aging.: This book encompasses three major areas of work with elderly clients aged 60 years and older:.; Living in nursing homes; Living in assisted living.
