Edited by Dolores Gallagher-Thompson, Ann M. Steffen, and Larry W. Thompson


The physical health of older individuals presents many complex issues for providers; equally challenging are the increasingly complicated mental health problems of older adults.

The Handbook of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies with Older Adults brings together expert scientist practitioners and the full spectrum of cognitive and behavioral interventions to promote age-appropriate best practice.
