Psychotherapy in later life / edited by Rajesh R. Tampi, Brandon C. Yarns, Kristina F. Zdanys, Deena J. Tampi.

• "Psychotherapy is underutilized in later life, although decades of evidence point to its effectiveness for older adults. Psychotherapy in Later Life, with chapters written by leaders in old-age mental health, aims to help the psychiatrist, trainee, or other interested clinician learn of the special issues in psychotherapy with older adults and initiate practice of the leading evidence-based approaches. First, the reader is introduced to the indications for psychotherapy in later life and instructions on choosing an appropriate modality. In four extended chapters, how-to guides with practical instructions, detailed case presentations, and resources are presented for evidence-based approaches in later life: cognitive behavioral therapy, problem-solving therapy, interpersonal therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. Finally, special topics are reviewed, including psychotherapy in patients with cognitive disorders, combined psychotherapy and medication management, psychotherapy with diverse older adults, individual versus group psychotherapy, and psychotherapy at the end of life. This accessible work, intended to be scholarly yet practical, aspires to be a key resource for clinicians"--
