Product Description
This Third Edition of the bestselling Psychotherapy with Older Adults continues to offer students and professionals a thorough overview of psychotherapy with older adults. Using the contextual, cohort-based, maturity, specific challenge (CCMSC) model, it draws upon findings from scientific gerontology and life-span developmental psychology to describe how psychotherapy needs to be adapted for work with older adults, as well as when it is similar to therapeutic work with younger adults. Sensitively linking both research and experience, author Bob G. Knight 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 depth, focusing on special content areas and common themes.

An excellent book, developmentally founded, well presented while clearly discussing the issues with providing therapy to older adults. I would recommend this book for those interested in gerontology, health care professional, and mental health specialist. This book provides good insight into the particular issues facing our aging population and prepares the way for the on-set on "Baby Boomers", which will have tremendous impact on the health care profession.
