Description
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with Older People by Ken Laidlaw, Larry W. Thompson and Dolores Gallagher-Thompson is a comprehensive guide for clinicians working with older clients. This book addresses specific issues that arise when applying CBT to this age group, including building a therapeutic relationship, managing stereotypical thinking about ageing, and maintaining hope in the face of challenging life events. The authors, world authorities on depression and psychotherapy with older people, provide practical solutions and case studies to illustrate the method. A troubleshooting section is also included to help clinicians navigate common difficulties when working with older clients. This book is an invaluable resource for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and other health professionals who work with older people. With its focus on the unique challenges of CBT with older adults, this book offers a valuable insight into effective practice in this area.
