Handbook of Counseling and Psychotherapy with Older Adults

Older adults are the fastest-growing segment of society and are entering therapy at an unprecedented rate.

The Handbook covers new research findings for clinical treatment, coverage of multiple treatment modalities, and clinical problems confronting older clients, including:

* Developmental issues in psychotherapy with older men
* Existential issues of hope and meaning in late life therapy
* Developing and enhancing the therapeutic alliance with older clients
* The impact of cultural differences in psychotherapy with older clients
* Using reminiscence and life review as natural therapeutic strategies in groups
* Integrated group approaches with early stage Alzheimer's and their families
