Geropsychology-the field of psychology concerned with the
psychological, behavioral, biological, and social aspects of
aging-has developed repidly in the past two decades, in response to
the ever increasing aging population worldwide. This clinical
casebook describes current best practice in managing complex cases
involving common mental health issues in later life. It includes
chapters by leading authorities in the field-experienced
practitioners, researchers, and educators-who address contemporary
issues in clinical work with older adults. It will be useful for
clinicians wishing to update their practice, educators looking for
case material to enrich their didactic courses, and students and
practitioners new to working with older adults seeking guidance in
approaching casework with this population. The book spans the
international arena of practice, illustrating both universal themes
in clinical work as well as regional practice issues that can
inform health professionals more broadly. Each chapter is designed
to inform the reader about the rich context in which clinical work
occurs, including how the setting, the therapist's approach, and
the nature of the problem interact to influence outcomes.
Throughout, the cases have been carefully chosen to reflect
archetypal scenarios and provide practical, empirically informed
guidance for assessment, formulation, and formulation, and
interventions. The cases deal with complex issues of diagnosis and
formulation, assessment and intervention techniques, ethical and
legal issues, and interdisciplinary perspectives that will appeal
to a wide range of mental health professionals. The text provides
points for reflection from the cases, as well as key references in
the area, with an emphasis on current issues and theoretical
perspectives. Providing a range of expertise in a single source,
the Casebook of Clinical Geropsychology is an invaluable resource
for anyone concerned with the mental health needs of older people.
