Learn about the key issues when assessing and treating older adults
with mental health problems: Expert guidance through the key topics
Highlights the best assessment and treatment practices Addresses
diversity, ethical, and health system issues Full of real-life case
examples Resources in the appendix to test your knowledge Mental
health practitioners are encountering an ever-growing number of
older adults and so an up-to-date and comprehensive text addressing
the special considerations that arise in the psychological
assessment and treatment of this population is vital. This
accessible handbook does just that by introducing the key topics
that psychologists and other health professionals face when working
with older adults. Each area is introduced and then the special
considerations for older adults are explored, including specific
ethical and healthcare system issues. The use of case examples
brings the topics further to life. An important feature of the book
is the interweaving of diversity issues (culture, race, sexuality,
etc.) within the text to lend an inclusive, contemporary insight
into these important practice components. The Pikes Peak
Geropsychology Knowledge and Skill Assessment Tool is included in
an appendix so readers can test their knowledge, which will be
helpful for those aiming for board certification in geropsychology
(ABGERO). This an ideal text for clinical psychologists
transitioning to work with older clients, for those wanting to
improve their knowledge for their regular practice, and for
trainees or young clinicians just starting out.
