Abstract
Most older adults are well suited to cognitive and behavioral (CB) intervention approaches utilizing a collaborative relationship between client and therapist, explicit goal setting, and acknowledgment of the client's personal strengths. Therapists need to utilize a biopsychosocial model in working with older adults and to plan treatment with awareness of interdisciplinary principles and resources. Effective cognitive and behavioral work with the elderly depends on understanding changes in cognitive processing and learning that may be associated with age. Some modifications of cognitive and behavioral techniques to consider in work with older adults are proposed, in response to differences in learning styles, sensory deficits, and chronic health problems and to capitalize on the life experience of older adults.
