Abstract
In their study presented in this edition of the Journal, Lutz et al.,1 investigated how a 12-session Problem Solving Therapy (PST) worked at reducing functional disability and suicidal ideation. Sixty-five older-adult participants with depression completed measures of disability (WHO Disability Assessment Schedule; WHODAS) and suicide ideation (Geriatric Suicide Ideation Scale;2 GSIS) at baseline and post-treatment. Treatment reduced both disability and suicidal ideation. Not surprisingly, their results indicated that reductions in functional disability were associated with overall reductions in scores on the GSIS.
