from Part 2 - Evidence-Based Psychotherapy in Later Life
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 January 2020
In preceding chapters, we provided a detailed review of the research and practice of four common, evidence-based psychotherapy approaches for older adults: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), problem-solving therapy (PST), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), and brief dynamic psychotherapy (BDP). However, many other psychological treatments exist and are of potential interest to the clinician treating older adults. These include all the varieties of cognitive and behavioral therapies; third-wave cognitive behavioral treatments such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT); mindfulness-based approaches such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR); combined approaches such as those used to treat substance use disorders in the elderly that involve cognitive and behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and a 12-step approach; treatments with unique proposed mechanisms, including life review and reminiscence therapies (RT); and treatments for unique conditions such as complicated grief. In addition, numerous other psychosocial/nonpharmacologic treatments do not act directly on psychological processes but are also of interest to the clinician; these include music and art therapy and even garden therapy.
