Making Evidence-Based Psychological Treatments Work with Older Adults

In Making Evidence-Based Psychological Treatments Work With Older Adults, researchers and clinicians share their expertise about the psychological disorders prevalent in older adults. In each chapter, they focus on one of the major presenting problems-anxiety, insomnia, depression, memory function, behavioral disturbances, and then consequent psychological symptoms of family caregivers. Researchers identify successful evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for the disorders, and clinicians discuss how they tailored EBTs to the special needs and conditions of their older clients. The result is a powerful collaboration for enhancing care.
