Counselling Older Adults outlines the startling demographic changes in recent population patterns with particular focus on the older adult segment. The author provides an overview of the existing knowledge base in order to enable health professionals to develop their practice and enhance the world of older persons through outlining counselling issues. The book considers the theory and application of counselling approaches to this increasing and important section of society and evaluates counselling research to date. Biological, sexual, psychological, social and spiritual perspectives are covered and particular attention is given to factors that hinder the counselling of older adults both on the part of the counsellor and the client. Theoretical approaches to older individuals are discussed in Chapter 2, while other chapters are specifically devoted to counselling older adults and evaluating its effect. In conclusion there is a consideration of both research and ethical issues. Case studies and actual counselling transcripts are included in the text making Counselling Older Adults accessible and valuable for students, lecturers and professors in counselling, psychotherapy, social work, psychology, gerontology, adult education and continuing education.
