What Every Therapist Should Know About Treating Older Adults (and Why It Matters More Than Ever)

older woman in a psychotherapy sessionolder woman in a psychotherapy sessionLet’s say an older client comes to you at the urging of his adult children.

They think he’s depressed after the loss of a dear friend, but he says he’s just tired and having a hard time sleeping. He’s also a little worried about his memory.

So where do you start? Depression, grief, insomnia, dementia – or somewhere else?

You don’t need to be a specialist to work with older adults, but it does require a different clinical lens – one that accounts for how aging impacts identity, relationships, physical health, and cognition.

So to help you fine-tune your approach (and better support the growing number of older adults seeking therapy), we’ve developed this new workshop.

— New Short Course —

How to Provide Effective Therapy for Older Adults

In this workshop, Julie Erickson, PhD will take an in-depth look at the clinical skills needed to meet the specific needs of older adults.

You’ll hear:

  • How depression, anxiety, and other conditions present differently in older adults
  • How to distinguish between major depression and neurocognitive disorders in later life
  • Why we need to conceptualize cases with older adults differently (and how to do it)
  • A clinical assessment tool to screen for cognitive impairment
  • How to adapt interventions for an aging brain
  • Myths about aging that can hurt a client’s self-image (and how to dispel them)
  • Interventions that may be contraindicated for older clients

The live workshop will take place on Wednesday, July 16 from 1-4pm ET.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask Julie your questions during the Q&A portions of the workshop.

In addition, your registration includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation (and both are yours to keep forever).

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
