Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The book is geared for mental health professionals, including clinical psychologists, geriatric psychiatrists, gerontological nurses, clinical social workers, occupational therapists, and marriage and family therapists as well as students in graduate and advanced courses in these fields. ... This excellent book deals with a broad range of disorders, both physical and psychological, covering different cognitive-behavioral therapy options backed by research. ... is a good starting point for learning about treatment of older adults." (Gary B Kaniuk, Doody's Review Service, August, 2008)

"Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies with Older Adults will therefore be welcomed by those with an interest in this growing field. ... Each chapter follows a broadly similar structure and helpfully includes a case study. Assessment is focused on extensively and at times seems to be at the expense of detail regarding the therapy. Whilst primarily a book for practicing CBT therapists, it is potentially an invaluable reference for any professional working with older adults." (Ceri Evans, International Psychogeriatrics, Vol. 21 (3), 2009)
