Psychotherapy with Older Adults
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
An excellent book, developmentally founded, well presented while clearly discussing the issues with providing therapy to older adults. I would recommend this book for those interested in gerontology, health care professional, and mental health specialist. This book provides good insight into the particular issues facing our aging population and prepares the way for the on-set on "Baby Boomers", which will have tremendous impact on the health care profession.
