This book covers the essentials of psychotherapeutic work with
older adults, discussing how contemporary psychodynamic thought can
be applied clinically to engage the older patient in
psychotherapeutic work of depth and meaning, work that not only
relieves suffering but also promotes growth. It describes the way
the difficulties accompanying older age can affect psychological
functioning and it examines the unique psychotherapeutic needs of
this age group. Using clinical vignettes for illustrative purposes,
it explores the psychotherapeutic challenges, tasks, techniques and
accomplishments involved in the treatment of older adults. Topics
discussed include the reemergence of earlier developmental
challenges; the concurrent treatment of late life and revived early
trauma; transference and countertransference; the functions of
developing an enriched life narrative in restoring the self;
existential issues; and mourning. Throughout, the focus is on what
psychotherapy can do to help. The demand for mental health services
for older adults is growing alongside increasing life spans, but
the psychodynamic literature has neglected this population.
Blooming in December: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Older Adults
fills this gap, offering a clear guide to effective work with older
adults for all psychotherapists and psychoanalysts.
