This text challenges the view that, for the elderly, only short-term therapy or counselling is suitable. It demonstrates that people can benefit from long-term psychotherapy at any age, provided that they have the motivation and the right attitude. Issues addressed include ageism, sexuality, loss, regression, and death.
Part One The receding wave: ageing and ageism; does it have to be like this?; re-inventing self; is sex allowed?; loss; why aren't they screaming? Part Two Time out of time (in the consulting room): dare we risk it?; regressing; changing; remembering and forgetting; ending; matters of life and death.
Encourages those of us who work with older adults to reflect upon our practice. [A] useful contribution to the field. Reflective, honest and self-critical, Ann Orbach integrates case detail, psychotherapeutic literature and self-reflection in an almost tender consideration of the social, intrapsychic and relational issues that underpin psychotherapeutic work with older people. [A] helpful addition to the debate of the therapeutic relationship for older people.
