| 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. |
